  • the total salary of a,b and c is rs 444. if they spend 80%, 85% and 75% of their salaries resp, their savings are as 7:6:9. then salary of B is:
    a. Rs140  b.  Rs160  c. Rs144 and d. none of these.


    savings are 20%of a's income  15% of b's income and 25% of c's income.
    so 20a:15b:25c=7:6:9. I am stuck and can't go beyond this point :(

    Here we have given

    a + b + c = 444 (i)

    Spending ratio percentage = 80%, 85%&75%.

    , Saving ratio % will become = 20%, 15%, and 25%
          We have given savings ratio = 7:6:9.

    , 20% of a = 7k


    Hence, correct option is (b) Rs 160.
