Correct Answer: ans: Man’s and Woman’s income are 10,000 Tic & 6,000 Tk respectively.
Explanation:
Let, the amount of income and expenditure of man = 5x and 3x
& the amount of income and expenditure of woman = 3y and y
The man’s savings = 5x – 3x = 2x
and The woman’s savings = 3y – y = 2y
Here, 2x = 2y = 4,000
=> 2x = 4,000
=> 9x = 2,000
=> 2y = 4,000
=> y = 2,000
The man’s income = 5x = (5 x 2,000) Tk. = 10,000 Tk.
The woman’s income = 3y = (3 x 2,000) Tk. = 6,000 Tk.
