Let h and b be Hans' and Bhaskar's salary
So,h+b = 10,000
Let x be the money spend by each of them
(h-x)/(b-x) = 6/1
Trying out option 1,
h=6000 and b=4000
So, x=3600
Equations are satisfiedIf amount spent is equal then if the ratio of their savings is to be greater than 1(in this case 6/1=6)
Then Hans' salary must be greater than Baskrs salary
Only option 1 satisfies this
