The monthly incomes of A and B are in the ratio of 5 : 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio of 7 : 5. If each saves Rs. 9000 per month, find the monthly income of each.

This is the basic and conceptual question from linear equations in two variables in which we have to find the monthly income of a and b if their monthly expenditures ratio is given and it is also given that each saves 9000 per month.

Kindly give me a detailed solution of this question

  1. Given ratio of incomes =5:4
    And the ratio of their expenditures =7:5
    Saving of each person = Rs. 3000

    Let incomes of two persons
    =5x and 4x
    And their expenditures =7y and 5y
    According to the question, 5x7y=3000(i)
    4x5y=3000( ii )
    On multiplying Eq. (i) by 4 and Eq. (ii) by 5 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get
    20x28y=12000( iii )
    20x25y=15000( iv )
    On subtracting Eq. (iii) from (iv), we get
    20x25y20x+28y=1500012000
    3y=3000
    y=1000
    On putting the y=1000 in Eq. (i), we get
    5x7y=3000
    5x7(1000)=3000
    5x=10000
    x=2000
    Thus, monthly income of both the persons are 5(2000) and 4(2000) , i.e.
    Rs10000 and Rs.8000
