The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the details provided in the question and the video transcript. ### Step 1: Define the Income of A and B Given the ratio of incomes of A and B is 5:9, we can represent their incomes as: - Income of A = 5x - Income of B = 9x ### Step 2: Calculate Expenditure of A and B According to the problem: - Expenditure of A = \( \frac{3}{8} \) of his income - Expenditure of B = \( \frac{4}{9} \) of his income Calculating the expenditures: - Expenditure of A = \( \frac{3}{8} \times 5x = \frac{15x}{8} \) - Expenditure of B = \( \frac{4}{9} \times 9x = 4x \) ### Step 3: Calculate Savings of A and B Savings can be calculated as: - Savings of A = Income of A - Expenditure of A - Savings of B = Income of B - Expenditure of B Calculating the savings: - Savings of A = \( 5x - \frac{15x}{8} \) - To simplify, convert \( 5x \) to a fraction with a denominator of 8: - \( 5x = \frac{40x}{8} \) - Therefore, Savings of A = \( \frac{40x}{8} - \frac{15x}{8} = \frac{25x}{8} \) - Savings of B = \( 9x - 4x = 5x \) ### Step 4: Sum of Savings According to the problem, the sum of their savings is Rs 1950: \[ \text{Savings of A} + \text{Savings of B} = 1950 \] \[ \frac{25x}{8} + 5x = 1950 \] Convert \( 5x \) to a fraction with a denominator of 8: \[ 5x = \frac{40x}{8} \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{25x}{8} + \frac{40x}{8} = 1950 \] \[ \frac{65x}{8} = 1950 \] ### Step 5: Solve for x To find x, multiply both sides by 8: \[ 65x = 1950 \times 8 \] \[ 65x = 15600 \] Now, divide by 65: \[ x = \frac{15600}{65} = 240 \] ### Step 6: Calculate Incomes Now that we have x, we can find the incomes: - Income of A = \( 5x = 5 \times 240 = 1200 \) - Income of B = \( 9x = 9 \times 240 = 2160 \) ### Step 7: Find the Difference in Incomes The difference between their incomes is: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Income of B} - \text{Income of A} = 2160 - 1200 = 960 \] ### Final Answer The difference between their incomes is Rs 960. ---
