The ratio of expenditures of Lakshmi and Meenakshi is 2:32:3, and the ratio of income of Lakshmi to expenditure of Meenakshi is 6:76:7. If excess of income over expenditure is saved by Lakshmi and Meenakshi, and the ratio of their savings is 4:94:9, then the ratio of their incomes is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Let expenditure of Lakshmi =2k= 2k and expenditure of Meenakshi =3k= 3k.


Income of Lakshmi : Expenditure of Meenakshi =6:7= 6 : 7

Income of Lakshmi3k=67\dfrac{\text{Income of Lakshmi}}{3k} = \dfrac{6}{7}

Income of Lakshmi=18k7\text{Income of Lakshmi} = \dfrac{18k}{7}


Saving of Lakshmi == Income −- Expenditure

=18k7−2k= \dfrac{18k}{7} - 2k

=18k−14k7= \dfrac{18k - 14k}{7}

=4k7= \dfrac{4k}{7}


Saving of Lakshmi : Saving of Meenakshi =4:9= 4 : 9

4k/7Saving of Meenakshi=49\dfrac{4k/7}{\text{Saving of Meenakshi}} = \dfrac{4}{9}

Saving of Meenakshi=9k7\text{Saving of Meenakshi} = \dfrac{9k}{7}


Income of Meenakshi == Expenditure ++ Saving

=3k+9k7= 3k + \dfrac{9k}{7}

=21k+9k7= \dfrac{21k + 9k}{7}

=30k7= \dfrac{30k}{7}


Income of Lakshmi : Income of Meenakshi

=18k7:30k7= \dfrac{18k}{7} : \dfrac{30k}{7}

=18:30= 18 : 30

=3:5= 3 : 5
