Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFSum of expenditures of both = Rs. 14000
Formula Used:
Income = Expenditure + Savings
Calculation:
Let Ram’s income be 7x and Shyam’s income be 3x
Suppose, Ram’s saving = Expenditure of Shyam = S
⇒ Ram’s expenditure = 7x – S
⇒ Shyam’s expenditure = S
According to the question,
(7x – S) + S = 14000
⇒ x = 2000
∴ Salary of Shyam = 3x = 3 × 2000 = Rs. 6000Last updated on Jun 2, 2025
