Previous Year Question (PYQs)



The incomes of $A$, $B$ and $C$ are in the ratio $7 : 9 : 12$ and their spending are in the ratio $8 : 9 : 15$. If $A$ saves $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of his income, then the savings of $A$, $B$ and $C$ are in the ratio of





Solution

Let incomes be $7x, 9x, 12x$ and expenditures be $8y, 9y, 15y$. Saving of $A = 7x - 8y = \dfrac{1}{4}(7x) \Rightarrow 7x - 8y = \dfrac{7x}{4} \Rightarrow 8y = \dfrac{21x}{4} \Rightarrow y = \dfrac{21x}{32}$. Savings: $A = \dfrac{7x}{4}$, $B = 9x - 9y = 9x - 9\left(\dfrac{21x}{32}\right) = \dfrac{99x}{32}$, $C = 12x - 15y = 12x - 15\left(\dfrac{21x}{32}\right) = \dfrac{69x}{32}$. Hence ratio $= 56 : 99 : 69$.
