the annual income and expenditure of a man and his wife are in the ratio of 5:3 and 3:1 respectively. if they decide to save equally and find a balance of rs.4000 at the end of the year, what was their income

• Rs. 10000 and Rs. 6000
  
  Let income and expenditure of a man be 5x and 3x respectively and
  income and expenditure of a wife be 3y and y respectively, then
  Savings of a man= Saving of a wife
  => 2x=2y
  As there savings are 4000 each, 2x=2y= 4000, x=y=2000
  So their incomes are 5x=10000 and 3y=6000 respectively
