    Question

    The ratio of monthly income of 'A' to that of 'B' is

    3:4, and monthly savings of 'A' are 20% less than that of 'B'. If 'B' saves (1/4)th of his monthly income such that his monthly expenditure is Rs. 8,000 more than that of 'A', then find the yearly income of 'A'.
    A Rs. 3,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 3,60,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 4,80,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 5,40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly income of 'B' be Rs. 20x Therefore, monthly income of 'A' = 20x x (3/4) = Rs. 15x So, the monthly savings of 'B' = (1/4) x 20x = Rs. '5x' Monthly expenditure of 'B' = 20x - 5x = Rs. '15x' Monthly savings of 'A' = 0.80 x 5x = Rs. '4x' Monthly expenditure of 'A' = 15x - 4x = Rs. '11x' ATQ, 15x - 11x = 8000 Or, 4x = 8000 Or, x = 2000 So, the yearly income of 'A' = 12 x 15x = 12 x 15 x 2000 = Rs. 3,60,000
