The incomes of A and B are in the ratio of 3:2 and their expenses are in the ratio of 5:3. If each of them saves Rs.3000, then A's income (in Rs.) is
A₹15000
B₹12000
C₹6000
D₹18000 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) ₹18000
Explanation
A's income is Rs. 18000.
Let incomes be 3x and 2x, expenses 5y and 3y, each saving 3000.
So 3x - 5y = 3000 and 2x - 3y = 3000.
Solving these together gives x = 6000.
A's income = 3x = 3 x 6000 = 18000.
