Question

The ratio of the income to the expenditure of a family is $$7 : 6$$. Find the savings if the income is Rs. $$1400$$.

Answer 1

Correct option is A. Rs. $$200$$.

Given,

Income of a family $$ = Rs.1400$$

The ratio of the income to the expenditure of the family $$= 7:6$$.

Let,

Expenditure of the family $$ =6x$$

The income of the family $$= 7x$$

$$1400 = 7x$$

$$x = Rs. 200$$

We know that,

Savings of a family = income of the family - expenditure of the family.

= $$x$$

$$\therefore$$ savings of the family is $$ Rs. 200$$
