Question 8

The income of S, T and U are in the ratio of 7 : 9 : 6 and their expenses in the ratio of 4 : 5 : 3. If S saves Rs 2000 out of an income of Rs 14000, then what will be the saving (in Rs) of T?

Solution

Income of S = Rs. 14,000 and savings of S = Rs. 2,000

=> Expenditure of S = 14000 - 2000 = Rs. 12,000

Ratio of income of S, T and U = 7 : 9 : 6

=> Income of T = $$\frac{9}{7}\times14,000=Rs.$$ $$18,000$$

Similarly, expenditure of T = $$\frac{5}{4}\times12,000=Rs.$$ $$15,000$$

$$\therefore$$ Savings of T = $$18000-15000=Rs.$$ $$3,000$$

=> Ans - (C)
