The ratio of monthly income of P to monthly income of Q is 9: 11, and P's savings are % more than Q's savings. What is the expenditure (in ₹) of P, if the sum of monthly income of P and Q is ₹2,40,000, and expenditure (in ₹) of Q is ₹84000?
- 36,000
- 50,000
- 52,000
- 44,000
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - 44,000
Incomes 9k+11k = 240000 gives P = 108000, Q = 132000. Q saves 132000-84000 = 48000; P saves 4/3 of that = 64000. P spends 108000-64000 = Rs 44,000.
