Discussion :: Ratio and Proportion
- The ratio of income of Pervez, Sunny, and Ashu is 3: 7: 4 and the ratio of their expenditure is 4: 3: 5 respectively. If Pervez saves Rs 300 out of 2400, find the savings of Ashu.
Answer : Option D
Explanation :
ATQ, income ratio of Pervez: Sunny: Ashu = 3: 7: 4
Let the income of Pervez: Sunny: Ashu = 3x, 7x, 4x
The income of Pervez = 3x = 2400 (given in the question)
That means x = 2400/3 = 800
Now, the income of Sunny = 7x = 7*800 = 5600
Similarly the income of Ashu = 4x = 4*800 = 3200
Now,
Their expenditure is in the ratio of 4: 3: 5
So, let their expenditure is 4y, 3y, 5y
The expenditure of Pervez = income of Pervez - saving of Pervez
Or, expenditure of Pervez = 4y = 2400-300 = 2100
Or, y = 2100/4 = 525
Here 4y comes from expenditure's ratio
Similarly, the expenditure of Sunny = 3y = 3* 525 = 1575
The expenditure of Ashu = 5y = 5*525 = 2625
Saving's of Ashu = Income of Ashu - Expenditure of Ashu
Saving's of Ashu = 3200- 2625 = 575
