- The salaries of P and Q add up to Rs1,20,000.

- P saves 5% of his salary. Let P's salary be Rs\(x\). His savings: \(0.05x\).

- Q saves 15% of his salary. Let Q's salary be Rs\(1,20,000-x\). His savings: \(0.15(1,20,000-x)\).

- Savings of P and Q are equal:

\[0.05x = 0.15(1,20,000-x)\]

- Solving gives:

\[0.05x = 18,000 - 0.15x\]

\[0.2x = 18,000\]

\[x = 90,000\]

- P's salary is Rs90,000.

- Answer: Option 3 - Rs90,000
