Correct Answer: Rs. 2,900


Solution : The ratio of income of Jitendra to Narendra = $4: 7$
The ratio of expenditure of Jitendra to Narendra = $6: 5$
Jitendra's savings = Rs. 400
Jitendra's income = Rs. 2,800
Let the ratio of income of Jitendra to Narendra be 4x and 7x.
So 4x = 2800
⇒ x = 700
So, the income of Narendra = 7x = 7 × 700 = 4900
The saving of Jitendra = 400
So, expenditure of Jitendra = 2800 – 400 = 2400
The ratio of expenditure of Jitendra to Narendra = 6 : 5
Let the ratio of expenditure be 6y and 5y.
So, 6y = 2400
⇒ y = 400
So, expenditure of Narendra = 5y = 5 × 400 = 2,000
$\therefore$ Savings of Narendra = 4,900 – 2,000 = 2,900
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2,900.
