The ratio of incomes of A and B is 9 : 7...

The ratio of incomes of A and B is 9 : 7 and the ratio of their expenditures is 4 : 3. If each of them saves Rs. 4000 per month, then find their monthly incomes. Also, if each of them donates 9% of his income to a charity working for old age destitutes, then find the resulting savings of each. What value is indicated from this action?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the information given and derive the required values systematically. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the incomes of A and B be represented as: - Income of A = 9x - Income of B = 7x Let the expenditures of A and B be represented as: - Expenditure of A = 4y - Expenditure of B = 3y ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations According to the problem, both A and B save Rs. 4000 per month. Therefore, we can write the following equations based on their incomes and expenditures: 1. For A: \[ \text{Income of A} - \text{Expenditure of A} = \text{Savings of A} \] \[ 9x - 4y = 4000 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. For B: \[ \text{Income of B} - \text{Expenditure of B} = \text{Savings of B} \] \[ 7x - 3y = 4000 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the System of Equations We have the two equations: 1. \( 9x - 4y = 4000 \) 2. \( 7x - 3y = 4000 \) To eliminate \(y\), we can multiply Equation 1 by 3 and Equation 2 by 4: - Multiply Equation 1 by 3: \[ 27x - 12y = 12000 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] - Multiply Equation 2 by 4: \[ 28x - 12y = 16000 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] ### Step 4: Subtract the Equations Now, we subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4: \[ (28x - 12y) - (27x - 12y) = 16000 - 12000 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 4000 \] ### Step 5: Substitute Back to Find \(y\) Now that we have \(x\), we can substitute it back into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 to find \(y\). Let's use Equation 1: \[ 9(4000) - 4y = 4000 \] \[ 36000 - 4y = 4000 \] \[ -4y = 4000 - 36000 \] \[ -4y = -32000 \] \[ y = 8000 \] ### Step 6: Calculate Monthly Incomes Now we can find the monthly incomes of A and B: - Income of A: \[ 9x = 9(4000) = 36000 \text{ Rs.} \] - Income of B: \[ 7x = 7(4000) = 28000 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Step 7: Calculate Monthly Expenditures Now we can find the monthly expenditures of A and B: - Expenditure of A: \[ 4y = 4(8000) = 32000 \text{ Rs.} \] - Expenditure of B: \[ 3y = 3(8000) = 24000 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Step 8: Calculate Resulting Savings After Donation Each person donates 9% of their income to charity. We need to calculate their resulting savings after the donation. 1. For A: - Donation = 9% of Income of A: \[ \text{Donation} = 0.09 \times 36000 = 3240 \text{ Rs.} \] - Resulting Savings: \[ \text{Resulting Savings} = 4000 - 3240 = 760 \text{ Rs.} \] 2. For B: - Donation = 9% of Income of B: \[ \text{Donation} = 0.09 \times 28000 = 2520 \text{ Rs.} \] - Resulting Savings: \[ \text{Resulting Savings} = 4000 - 2520 = 1480 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Final Results - Monthly Income of A: Rs. 36,000 - Monthly Income of B: Rs. 28,000 - Resulting Savings of A after donation: Rs. 760 - Resulting Savings of B after donation: Rs. 1480 ### Value Indicated The action of donating to charity indicates a kind and caring attitude towards helping the less fortunate, showcasing social responsibility and empathy.
