    The monthly incomes of A and B are in the ratio 4:3. Each of them saves ₹ 600. If the ratio of their expenditures is 3 : 2, then the monthly income of B is -

    1. A₹ 2,400
    2. B₹ 2,000
    3. C₹ 1,800
    4. D₹ 3,600
    Answer (C)

    Let incomes be 4x and 3x; expenditures (4x-600) and (3x-600) are in ratio 3:2, giving 2(4x-600)=3(3x-600) → x=600, so B's income = 3x = ₹1,800.
