Answer : 2. "Rs. 150 and Rs.200"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs. 150 and Rs.200 Explanation: Let the incomes of A and B be 3P and 4P. If each saves Rs. 100 per month, then their expenditures = Income - savings = (3P - 100) and (4P - 100). The ratio of their expenditures is given as 1 : 2. Therefor, (3P - 100) : (4P - 100) = 1 : 2 Solving, We get P = 50. Substitute this value of P in 3P and 4P. Thus, their incomes are : Rs.150 and Rs.200
