Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 9000

Given:

The ratio of income of A and B = 11 : 9

The ratio of expenditure of A and B = 17 : 15

Saving of A = 2500

Saving of B = 1500

Formula used:

Income = Expenditure + Saving

Calculation:

Let the income of A and B is Rs. 11x and Rs. 9x respectively.

Then, (11x – 2500)/(9x – 1500) = 17/15

⇒ 165x – 37500 = 153x - 25500

⇒ 165x – 153x = 37500 – 25500

⇒ 12x = 12000

⇒ x = 1000

Income of B = 9 × 1000 = 9000

∴ The income of B = 9000
