15,000

- Let the income of Ramesh be \(5x\) and Suresh be \(7x\).

- Let the expenditure of Ramesh be \(y\) and Suresh be \(2y\).

- Both save 15,000, so for Ramesh: \(5x - y = 15,000\).

- For Suresh: \(7x - 2y = 15,000\).

- Solve the equations:

- Equation 1: \(y = 5x - 15,000\)

- Equation 2: \(2y = 7x - 15,000\)

- Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2:

- \(2(5x - 15,000) = 7x - 15,000\)

- Simplify to find \(x = 5,000\).

- Suresh's income: \(7x = 7 \times 5,000 = 35,000\).

Option 2: 35,000
