Soham’s initial expenditure and savings were in the ratio 5: 1. His income increases by 25%, while his savings increase by 20%.
If Soham’s current expenditure is Rs4,347, what was his initial income?
Rs4,130
Rs4,140
Rs4,150
Rs4,160
- Soham's initial expenditure and savings are in the ratio of 5:1. Let's express this ratio in terms of variables: initial expenditure (5x) and initial savings (1x).
- His income (6x) increases by 25%. Thus, his new income is 1.25 times his initial income.
- His savings increase by 20%, making his new savings 1.2 times his initial savings.
- His new expenditure, therefore, can be calculated as: new income - new savings = 1.25 * (5x + x) - 1.2 * x.
- With the current expenditure known as Rs4,347, we can find the value of x.
- Solving the equation, we find that the initial income was Rs4,140.
- Option 2: Rs4,140 is the correct answer.
