Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
57% of Ranita's weekly income = 76% of Bhaskar's weekly income
Ranita's weekly income reduced by Rs. 400
Ratio of weekly incomes of Ranita and Bhaskar = 6:5
Concept Used:
We need to set up equations based on the given percentages and ratio, then solve for Bhaskar's weekly income.
Formula Used:
Let Ranita's weekly income be R and Bhaskar's weekly income be B.
57% of R = 76% of B
(57/100)R = (76/100)B
R - 400 = (6/5)B
Calculation:
(57/100)R = (76/100)B
⇒ 57R = 76B ...(1)
R - 400 = (6/5)B
⇒ 5R - 2000 = 6B ...(2)
From equation (1):
⇒ R = (76/57)B
Substitute R in equation (2):
⇒ 5(76/57)B - 2000 = 6B
⇒ (380/57)B - 2000 = 6B
⇒ (380/57)B - 6B = 2000
⇒ (380B - 342B) / 57 = 2000
⇒ 38B / 57 = 2000
⇒ 38B = 2000 × 57
⇒ 38B = 114000
⇒ B = 114000 / 38
⇒ B = 3000
∴ Bhaskar's weekly income is Rs. 3000.
