    Question

    The monthly incomes of two friends Keshav and Tushar, are in the ratio 5 : 7 respectively and each of them saves Rs. 93000 every month. If the ratio of their monthly expenditure is 2 : 3, find the monthly income of Keshav(in Rs.).

    A.

    465000

    B.

    464000

    C.

    651000

    D.

    466000

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    The monthly incomes of two friends Keshav and Tushar are in the ratio 5:7.
    They save ₹93000 each every month.
    The ratio of their monthly expenditure is 2:3.
    Formula Used:
    Income = Expenditure + Savings
    Solution:
    Let the monthly incomes of Keshav and Tushar be 5x and 7x respectively.
    Let the monthly expenditures of Keshav and Tushar be 2y and 3y respectively.
    5x - 2y = 93000 ...........(1)
    7x - 3y = 93000 ...........(2)
    Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2:
    => 15x - 6y = 279000
    => 14x - 6y = 186000
    Subtract the second equation from the first:
    (15x - 6y) - (14x - 6y) = 279000 - 186000
    => x = 93,000
    Therefore, Keshav's monthly income = 5x =  5 × 93,000 = 465000
