The salaries of P and Q together amount to ₹9,60,000. P and Q save 64% and 44%, respectively of their individual salaries. If P's expenditure is 1.5 times Q's expenditure, then what is the ratio of P's salary to Q's salary?

Total salary of P and Q = ₹9,60,000.

P saves 64% of his salary.

Q saves 44% of his salary.

P's expenditure is 1.5 times Q's expenditure.

Savings = Salary - Expenditure.

Let P's salary be p, and Q's salary be q.

So,

P's expenditure = (1 - 0.64)p = 0.36p,

Q's expenditure = (1 - 0.44)q = 0.56q.

It is given that P's expenditure is 1.5 times Q's expenditure:

0.36p = 1.5 × 0.56q

0.36p = 0.84q 

​$$\frac{p}{q} = \frac{0.84}{0.36} = \frac{7}{3}​$$​​

Thus, the ratio of salaries of P and Salaries of P = 7 : 3
