Monthly income of X and Y are in the ratio 1:3 and their expenses are in the ratio 19:40. X saves 18,860 less than Y and in total they save 36,020. what are their respective incomes?

• x-19y=8580,3x-40y=27440........solve them
  ans a=10480,b=31440

• income=A and 3A, expense= 19B and 40B, savings=(A-19B) and (3A-40B)
  according to question; (A-19B)=(3A-40B)-18860, and (A-19B)+(3A-40B)=36020
  solving this we get A=30,960 and 3A=92,880

• let the incomes be x and y.and expenditures be ex and ey.
  x/y=1/3
  ex/ey=19/40
  y-ey=x-ex+18860
  y-ey-x+ex=18860
  y-ey+x-ex=36020
  2y-2ey=54880
  y-ey=27440
  x-ex=8580
  3x-40ex/19=27440
  17ex/19=1700
  ex=1900
  x=10480
  y=31440

• x-19y=3x-40y-18860
  x-19y+3x-40y=36020
  x=25;y=75
  Income of X is 25 & Y is 75
