Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Ratio of monthly incomes of Chetan and Vipul = 5 : 7
Each saves ₹72000 every month.
Ratio of their monthly expenditure = 1 : 3
Formula Used:
Income - Savings = Expenditure
Calculation:
Let the monthly income of Chetan be 5x and the monthly income of Vipul be 7x.
Each saves ₹72000, so:
Chetan's expenditure = 5x - 72000
Vipul's expenditure = 7x - 72000
The ratio of their monthly expenditure is 1 : 3, so:
\(\frac{\text{Chetan's expenditure}}{\text{Vipul's expenditure}} = \frac{1}{3}\)
⇒ \(\frac{5x - 72000}{7x - 72000} = \frac{1}{3}\)
⇒ 3 × (5x - 72000) = 1 × (7x - 72000)
⇒ 15x - 216000 = 7x - 72000
⇒ 15x - 7x = 216000 - 72000
⇒ 8x = 144000
⇒ \(x = \frac{144000}{8}\)
⇒ x = 18000
Chetan's monthly income = 5x = 5 × 18000 = ₹90000
∴ The monthly income of Chetan is ₹90000.
