The ratio of incomes of Anil and Vikas is 8: 5. If Vikas gets Rs. 3000 less than Anil, then what is the total income of Anil and Vikas?

Ratio of incomes of Anil and Vikas = 8 : 5

Vikas gets Rs. 3000 less than Anil.

Let the incomes of Anil and Vikas be 8x and 5x, respectively.

According to the Question, the difference in their incomes is Rs. 3000, so:

8x − 5x = 3000

3x = 3000

x = $$\frac{3000}{3}$$​ = 1000

Now,

Anil's income = 8x = 8 × 1000 = 8000

Vikas's income = 5x = 5 × 1000 = 5000

Total income = 8000 + 5000 = 13000

Thus, the total income of Anil and Vikas is Rs. 13,000.
