  1. Question 1

    Q1. A and B's salaries together amount to Rs. 2,000. A spends 95% of his salary and B spends 85% of his. If now their savings are the same, what is A's salary?

    • A) Rs0.50
    • B) Rs0.75
    • C) Rs0.13
    • D) Rs0.15

    Answer: Rs0.15

    Explanation: Let A earn x and B earn (2000−x); savings are 5% of x and 15% of (2000−x); setting equal gives x = Rs. 750 and B = Rs. 1,250, so A saves Rs. 37.50 = 15% of B's savings confirms the split.
