    The sum of the original incomes of β€˜R’ and β€˜S’

    is Rs. 60000. If the income of β€˜R’ had been Rs. 6000 more, then it would have been 20% more than the original income of β€˜S’. β€˜R’ and β€˜S’ spend 80% and 70% of their respective original incomes. Find the difference between their savings.
    A Rs. 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 3500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 2800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the original income of β€˜R’ be Rs. x Therefore, original income of β€˜S’ = Rs. (60000 – x) According to the question, (x + 6000) = 1.2(60000 – x) Or, x + 6000 = 72000 – 1.2x Or, 2.2x = 66000 Or, x = 30000 Therefore, income of β€˜R’ = Rs. 30000
    Income of β€˜S’ = Rs. 30000 Savings of β€˜R’ = 0.20 Γ— 30000 = Rs. 6000
    Savings of β€˜S’ = 0.30 Γ— 30000 = Rs. 9000 Required difference = 9000 – 6000 = Rs. 3000
