    Question

    The sum of the incomes of 'A' and 'B' is Rs. 50,000. If

    'A' spends 70% of his income while 'B' spends 80% of his income, then the savings of 'A' will be Rs. 3,000 more than that of 'B'. Find the income of 'A'.
    A Rs. 28,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 30,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 22,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 24,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 26,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the income of 'A' be Rs. 'x' Therefore, income of 'B' = Rs. (50000 - x) Savings of 'A' = 0.30 X x = Rs. '0.30x' Savings of 'B' = Rs. {0.20 X (50000 - x)} According to the question, 0.30x - 0.20 X (50000 - x) = 3000 Or, 0.30x - 10000 + 0.20x = 3000 Or, 0.5x = 13000 Or, x = 26000 Therefore, income of 'A' = Rs. 26,000
