The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first set up the relationships based on the ratios provided and then use the information given to find D's income. ### Step 1: Set up the ratios We know: - The ratio of incomes of C and D is \(3:2\). - The ratio of incomes of D and E is \(5:4\). Let’s denote: - C's income = \(3x\) - D's income = \(2x\) For D and E: - D's income = \(5y\) - E's income = \(4y\) ### Step 2: Equate D's income Since D's income is represented in both ratios, we can equate them: \[ 2x = 5y \] From this, we can express \(y\) in terms of \(x\): \[ y = \frac{2x}{5} \] ### Step 3: Substitute E's income Now we can express E's income in terms of \(x\): \[ E's\ income = 4y = 4 \left(\frac{2x}{5}\right) = \frac{8x}{5} \] ### Step 4: Set up the equation from the problem statement According to the problem, one-third of C’s income is Rs 4000 more than half of E’s income. We can write this as: \[ \frac{1}{3} \times 3x = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8x}{5} + 4000 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation Now simplify the left and right sides: \[ x = \frac{4x}{5} + 4000 \] ### Step 6: Eliminate fractions To eliminate the fraction, multiply the entire equation by 5: \[ 5x = 4x + 20000 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \(x\) Subtract \(4x\) from both sides: \[ 5x - 4x = 20000 \] \[ x = 20000 \] ### Step 8: Find D's income Now we can find D's income: \[ D's\ income = 2x = 2 \times 20000 = 40000 \] ### Final Answer Thus, D's income is Rs 40,000. ---
