      proportional, with 'A' earning at a ratio of 5:3 compared to 'B'. Their monthly savings follow a ratio of 3:1, with 'A' saving more than 'B'. Given that 'A' and 'B' incur monthly expenses of Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 6,000, respectively, calculate the monthly income of 'A'.

      B Rs. 12,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the incomes of 'A' and 'B' be Rs. '5x' and Rs. '3x', respectively. ATQ; (5x - 8000)/(3x - 6000) = 3/1 5x - 8000 = 9x - 18000 x = 10000/4 = 2500 So, income of 'A' = 5x = 5 X 2500 = Rs. 12,500
