    Question

    Incomes of 'A' and 'B' are in the ratio 3:5,

    respectively while their expenditures are Rs. 18,000 and Rs. 30,000, respectively. If the ratio of income to the expenditure of 'C' is equal to the ratio of savings of 'B' and 'A', respectively, then find the savings of 'C' given that his income is Rs. 75,000
    A Rs. 25,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 30,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 45,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 35,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of incomes of 'A' and 'B' = 3:5 Ratio of expenditures of 'A' and 'B' = 18000:30000 = 3:5 Since, ratio of income of 'A' to that of 'B' as well as ratio of their expenditures is 3:5 Therefore, ratio of savings of 'A' to that of 'B' = 3:5 Ratio of income to expenditure of 'C' = 5:3 Expenditure of 'C' = 75000 X (3/5) = Rs. 45,000 Savings of 'C' = 75000 - 45000 = Rs. 30,000
