    B Rs. 4600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 4800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 4900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let monthly income of A and B be 12x and 13x, respectively. Then, 12x + 13x = 50000 25x = 50000, x = 2000 A’s monthly income = 12x = Rs. 24000 B’s monthly income = 13x = Rs. 26000 Given, expenditure of B = Rs. 7000 So, B’s saving = 26000 – 7000 = Rs. 19000 Then, A’s saving = 19000 + (1/19) × 19000 = 19000 + 1000 = Rs. 20000 A’s expenditure = 24000 – 20000 = Rs. 4000
