The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we need to find the ratio between the monthly income of Soniya and Ankur based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Set up the equations for Neeraj and Ankur's incomes. Let Neeraj's monthly income be \( N \) and Ankur's monthly income be \( A \). According to the problem, we have: \[ \frac{3}{7}N = \frac{1}{2}A \] From this equation, we can express the ratio of Neeraj's income to Ankur's income: \[ N = \frac{7}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2}A = \frac{7}{6}A \] Thus, the ratio of Neeraj's income to Ankur's income is: \[ \frac{N}{A} = \frac{7}{6} \] ### Step 2: Set up the equations for Soniya's income. Let Soniya's monthly income be \( S \). The problem states that Soniya spends 20% of her income on rent, which is Rs 17,500. Therefore: \[ 0.2S = 17500 \] To find Soniya's income \( S \): \[ S = \frac{17500}{0.2} = 87500 \] ### Step 3: Relate Soniya's rent expenditure to Neeraj's income. It is given that Soniya's expenditure on rent is 50% of Neeraj's monthly income: \[ 17500 = 0.5N \] From this, we can express Neeraj's income \( N \): \[ N = 2 \times 17500 = 35000 \] ### Step 4: Substitute Neeraj's income into the ratio with Ankur's income. Now we know \( N = 35000 \). We can substitute this into the ratio we found earlier: \[ \frac{N}{A} = \frac{7}{6} \implies \frac{35000}{A} = \frac{7}{6} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 7A = 6 \times 35000 \] \[ A = \frac{210000}{7} = 30000 \] ### Step 5: Find the ratio of Soniya's income to Ankur's income. Now we have: - Soniya's income \( S = 87500 \) - Ankur's income \( A = 30000 \) To find the ratio of Soniya's income to Ankur's income: \[ \frac{S}{A} = \frac{87500}{30000} \] Simplifying this ratio: \[ \frac{S}{A} = \frac{875}{300} = \frac{35}{12} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of Soniya's monthly income to Ankur's monthly income is: \[ \boxed{35:12} \]
