Hans and Bhaskar have salaries that jointly amount to Rs 10,000 per month. They
spend the same amount monthly and then it is found that the ratio of their savings is 6:1. Which
of the following can be Hans’s salary ?

- 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
