Explanation:

Let their monthly incomes be 2x and 3x, while monthly expenses be 5y and 9y Therefore, 2x - 5y = 6000………(i) and
3x – 9y = 6000……….(ii)
Multiplying the equations by 3 and 2 respectively and subtracting eq. (ii) from (i)
We get, 3y = 6000, therefore, y = 2000
Putting the value of y in eq. (i)
2x = 6000 + 5 * 2000
2x = 16000, therefore x = 8000 Therefore, monthly incomes
2x = 2 * 8000 = Rs. 16000
3x = 3 * 8000 = Rs. 24000
