Question

    The sum of the monthly incomes of ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ is Rs. 95000 which is 4 times the monthly income of ‘C’. If ‘A’ spends 25% of his income while ‘B’ spends 80% of his income and the sum of their savings is Rs. 18900, then find the savings of ‘A’.

    A Rs. 3750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 2625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 3075 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Monthly income of ‘C’ = 95000/4 = Rs. 23750 Let the monthly income of ‘A’ be Rs. x Therefore, monthly income of ‘B’ = Rs. (71250 – x) According to the question, 0.75x + 0.20(71250 – x) = 17000 Or, 0.55x = 2750 x = 5000 Or, savings of ‘A’ = 0.75x = Rs. 3750
