Answer 1

Given:

The ratio of income of Jitendra to Narendra = 4 : 7

The ratio of expenditure of Jitendra to Narendra = 6 : 5

Jitendra's savings = Rs. 400

Jitendra's income = Rs. 2,800

Calculation

The ratio of income is 4 : 7

Let the ratio be 4x and 7x

The income of Jitendar = 2800

So 4x = 2800

x = 700

So the income of Narender = 7x = 7 × 700 = 4900

The saving of Jitendar = 400

So expenditure of Jitendar = 2800 - 400 = 2400

The ratio of expenditure of Jitendra to Narendra = 6 : 5

Let the ratio of expenditure be 6y and 5y

so, 6y = 2400

y = 400

So expenditure of Narendra = 5y = 5 × 400 = 2000

Saving of Narendra = 4900 - 2000 = 2900

Therefore, the savings of Narendra is Rs. 2,900.
