    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,


    Akash + Bittu = 31000 * 2 = 62000

    Bittu + Chirag = 40000 * 2 = 80000

    (Bittu + Chirag) – (Akash + Bittu) = 80000 - 62000

    Chirag – Akash = 18000

    2.5p + 500 – (p + 5000) = 18000

    p = 22500/1.5 = 15000

    The income of Akash = 15000 + 5000 = Rs.20000

    The income of Bittu = 62000 – 20000 = Rs.42000
