Answer» Correct Answer - D
`{:(," "A," "B),("Income"," "4x," "3x),("Expenditure"," "5y," "2y),("Savings",4x-5y,3x-2y):}`
Given, ` 3x - 2y = 3000 rArr x = 1000 + (2y)/3`
Now, saving of ` A = 4x - 5y = 4(1000+(2y)/3)`
` -5y rArr 4000+(8y)/3 - 5y rArr 4000 - (7y)/3`.
`:.` The saving of A cannot be more than Rs. 4000.
` :.` Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
