Question

The monthly incomes of two friends, Vijay and Mohan, are in the ratio 5 : 9, respectively, and each of them saves ₹4,2000 every month. If the ratio of their monthly expenditure is 2: 4, find the monthly income of Vijay (in ₹).

The correct answer is
2,10,000

To find the monthly income of Vijay, we need to analyze the given information step-by-step:

  1. The ratio of the monthly incomes of Vijay and Mohan is given as 5:9. Let's assume Vijay's monthly income is \(5x\) and Mohan's monthly income is \(9x\).
  2. Both individuals save ₹42,000 each month. Therefore, their expenditures are their incomes minus their savings.
  3. The expenditures can be expressed as:
    • Vijay's expenditure = \(5x - 42000\)
    • Mohan's expenditure = \(9x - 42000\)
  4. The ratio of their monthly expenditures is given as 2:4, which simplifies to 1:2.
  5. Setting up the equation with this ratio:

\frac{5x - 42000}{9x - 42000} = \frac{1}{2}

  1. Cross multiply to solve for \(x\):

2(5x - 42000) = 9x - 42000

10x - 84000 = 9x - 42000

  1. Rearrange and solve for \(x\):

10x - 9x = 84000 - 42000

x = 42000

  1. Since Vijay's income is \(5x\), substitute \(x = 42000\):

5x = 5 \times 42000 = 210000

Therefore, the monthly income of Vijay is ₹2,10,000. Thus, the correct answer is 2,10,000.
