A) Rs. 100 and Rs.150 B) Rs. 150 and Rs.200
C) Rs.200 and Rs.250 D) Rs.250 and Rs.300
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 150 and Rs.200

Explanation:

Let the incomes of A and B be 3P and 4P.

If each saves Rs. 100 per month, then their expenditures = Income - savings = (3P - 100) and (4P - 100).

 

The ratio of their expenditures is given as 1 : 2.

Therefor, (3P - 100) : (4P - 100) = 1 : 2

Solving, We get P = 50. Substitute this value of P in 3P and 4P.

Thus, their incomes are : Rs.150 and Rs.200
