    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 E and F be Rs. z each.  Therefore, expenditure of F = Rs. 2z.  Or, 2z + z = 36,000.  Or, z = Rs. 12000.  Therefore, expenditure of E = 2z – 7,000 = Rs. 14,000.  Income of E = 14000 + 12,000 = Rs. 26,000.
