      Question

      The incomes of Nitin and Prakul are in the ratio 3 : 5,

      and their expenditures are in the ratio 7 : 12. If Nitin saves 1/4 of his income, what is the ratio of their savings?
      A 21 : 31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 23 : 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 23 : 31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 21 : 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let Nitin's income = 3x and Prakul's income = 5x. Nitin saves 1/4 of his income β†’ savings = (1/4) Γ— 3x = 3x/4 So, his expenditure = 3x - 3x/4 = 9x/4 Expenditure ratio is 7:12 (9x/4) / Prakul's expenditure = 7/12 β†’ Prakul's expenditure = (12 Γ— 9x) / (4 Γ— 7) = 27x / 7 Prakul's savings = 5x - 27x/7 = (35x - 27x)/7 = 8x/7 Nitin's savings = 3x/4 Prakul's savings = 8x/7 Ratio = (3x/4) : (8x/7) = 3/4 Γ· 8/7 = 21:32
