The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the information given about Sohan and Mohan's pocket money and their savings. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables:** Let Sohan's pocket money be \( X \) rupees. Since Mohan's pocket money is 25% more than Sohan's, we can express Mohan's pocket money as: \[ \text{Mohan's pocket money} = X + 0.25X = 1.25X \] 2. **Calculate the Amount Spent:** Both Sohan and Mohan spend 40% of their pocket money. Therefore, the amount they each have left after spending is: \[ \text{Sohan's remaining money} = X - 0.4X = 0.6X \] \[ \text{Mohan's remaining money} = 1.25X - 0.4(1.25X) = 1.25X - 0.5X = 0.75X \] 3. **Calculate the Amount Saved in the Bank:** Sohan keeps \( \frac{2}{3} \) of his remaining money in the bank: \[ \text{Sohan's savings} = \frac{2}{3} \times 0.6X = \frac{1.2X}{3} = 0.4X \] Mohan keeps \( \frac{4}{5} \) of his remaining money in the bank: \[ \text{Mohan's savings} = \frac{4}{5} \times 0.75X = \frac{3X}{5} \] 4. **Set Up the Equation for the Difference:** We know the difference between the amounts they keep in their bank accounts is 2400 rupees: \[ \left| \frac{3X}{5} - 0.4X \right| = 2400 \] 5. **Simplify the Equation:** To simplify, we convert \( 0.4X \) to a fraction with a common denominator: \[ 0.4X = \frac{2X}{5} \] Now, substituting this into the equation gives: \[ \left| \frac{3X}{5} - \frac{2X}{5} \right| = 2400 \] This simplifies to: \[ \left| \frac{X}{5} \right| = 2400 \] 6. **Solve for \( X \):** Multiply both sides by 5 to isolate \( X \): \[ X = 2400 \times 5 = 12000 \] 7. **Conclusion:** Sohan's pocket money \( X \) is 12000 rupees. ### Comparison of Quantities: - **Quantity I:** Sohan's pocket money = 12000 rupees. - **Quantity II:** 12000 rupees. Since both quantities are equal, we conclude that: **Final Answer:** Quantity I is equal to Quantity II.
