Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Ratio of monthly incomes of Ravi and Shiv = 1 : 2
Ratio of monthly expenditures = 1 : 3
Savings per month each = Rs 4,000
Concept Used:
Income – Savings = Expenditure
Calculation:
⇒ Let the monthly incomes of Ravi and Shiv be x and 2x.
⇒ According to the question,
⇒ \(\frac{x-4000}{2x-4000}=\frac{1}{3}\)
⇒ 3(x – 4000) = 1(2x – 4000)
⇒ 3x – 12000 = 2x – 4000
⇒ 3x – 2x = 12000 – 4000
⇒ x = 8000
⇒ Income of Shiv = 2x = 2 × 8000 = Rs 16,000
Therefore, the monthly income of Shiv is Rs 16,000.
