Question

    The spending habits of A, B, and C follow a ratio of

    3:2:4, while their savings follow a ratio of 3:1:2. The combined expenditure of all three individuals amounts to Rs. 45,000, and A's total income is Rs. 24,000. Calculate the total income of C.
    A Rs.22000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.24000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.26000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.28000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the expenditure of A, B and C be Rs. ‘3x’, Rs. ‘2x’ and Rs. ‘4x’ respectively.
    And, the savings of A, B and C be Rs. ‘3y’, Rs. ‘y’ and Rs. ‘2y’ respectively.
    According to question,
    3x + 2x + 4x = 45000
    x = Rs. 5000
    And, 3x + 3y = 24000
    3y = 24000 – 15000
    3y = 9000,
    y = Rs. 3000
    So, income of C = 4x + 2y = 20000 + 6000 = Rs. 26000
