    Solution

    ATQ, Let the income of 'Akshat' = Rs. '700a' Then, income of 'Beena' = 700a × (9/7) = Rs. '900a' Savings of 'Akshat' = 700a ×(1 - 0.48) = Rs. '364a' Let the expenses of 'Beena' = Rs. 'P' Then, savings of 'Beena' = Rs. (P + 2000) We have, P + P + 2000 = 2P + 2000 = 900x So, P = (900a - 2000) ÷ 2 = (450x - 1000) So, savings of 'Beena' = 450a - 1000 + 2000 = Rs. (450a + 1000) According to the question, 364a + 450a + 1000 = 13210 Or, 814a = 13210 - 1000 = 12210 So, a = 12210 ÷ 814 = 15 Therefore income of 'Akshat' = 700a = 700 × 15 = Rs 10,500
