The ratio of the incomes of A and B is 5 : 8 respectively and the sum of their expenditures is Rs. 18,000. If the savings of A is equal to the expenditure of B, what is the sum of their incomes?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Ratio and Proportion - 2 - Question 2

Let the incomes → A and B = 5x and 8x
Let the expenditure of A = y
Expenditure of B = 18000 – y
Savings of A = 5x – y
5x – y = 18000 – y
x = 3600
So the answer = 5x + 8x = 13 × 3600 = Rs. 46,800
Hence, option C is correct.

Let the bought → 8x, 5x and 3x
They ate = 5y, 2y and y
(8x – 5y) = 50% of 8x
8x – 5y = 4x
x : y = 5 : 4

So the answer = C
Hence, option C is correct.

MCQ: Ratio and Proportion - 2 - Question 6

The students in three batches of a tuition teacher are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 6. If 240 students are increased in each batch, the ratio changes to  6 : 7 : 9. What was the initial number of students in all three batches?
