The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the information provided in the question and the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratios The incomes of A and B are in the ratio of 5:3. This means if A's income is 5 parts, then B's income is 3 parts. ### Step 2: Set Up Variables for Incomes Let the incomes of A and B be represented as: - Income of A = 5p - Income of B = 3p ### Step 3: Understand the Expenses Ratios The expenses of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 8:5:2. We can represent their expenses as: - Expenses of A = 8x - Expenses of B = 5x - Expenses of C = 2x ### Step 4: Find the Value of x We know that C spends 2000, which means: \[ 2x = 2000 \] From this, we can find x: \[ x = \frac{2000}{2} = 1000 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Expenses of A and B Now we can calculate the expenses of A and B using the value of x: - Expenses of A = \( 8x = 8 \times 1000 = 8000 \) - Expenses of B = \( 5x = 5 \times 1000 = 5000 \) ### Step 6: Calculate B's Income We know that B saves 700. Therefore, B's income can be calculated as: \[ \text{Income of B} = \text{Expenses of B} + \text{Savings of B} \] \[ \text{Income of B} = 5000 + 700 = 5700 \] ### Step 7: Find A's Income Using the Ratio Since the incomes of A and B are in the ratio of 5:3, we can set up the equation: \[ \frac{\text{Income of A}}{\text{Income of B}} = \frac{5}{3} \] Let the income of A be \( 5k \) and the income of B be \( 3k \). We already know that B's income is 5700, so: \[ 3k = 5700 \] From this, we can find k: \[ k = \frac{5700}{3} = 1900 \] Now, we can find A's income: \[ \text{Income of A} = 5k = 5 \times 1900 = 9500 \] ### Step 8: Calculate A's Savings Now we can find A's savings: \[ \text{Savings of A} = \text{Income of A} - \text{Expenses of A} \] \[ \text{Savings of A} = 9500 - 8000 = 1500 \] ### Final Answer A saves **1500**. ---
