    A Rs. 24,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 26,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 37,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 44,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 48,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the savings of C and D be Rs. y each.   Therefore, expenditure of D = Rs. 2y.   Or, 2y + y = 30,000.   Or, y = Rs. 10000. Therefore, expenditure of C = 2y – 6,000 = Rs. 14000   Income of C = 14000 + 10000 = Rs. 24,000.
