    The incomes of A, B and C in the ratio 7: 9: 12 and their spendings are in the ratio 8: 9: 15. If A saves \[\frac{1}{4}\]th of his income, then the savings of A, B and C are in the ratio of

    A) 56: 99: 69         

    B) 69: 56: 99

    C) 99: 56: 69                     

    D) 99: 69: 56

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Income of A, B and C are Rs. 7x, Rs. 9x and Rs. 12x and their spending are Rs. 8y, Rs. 9y and Rs. 15y. \[\therefore \]      A's saving \[=Rs.\text{(}7x-8y\text{)}\] But A's saving \[=Rs.\frac{7x}{4}\] \[7x-8y=\frac{7x}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[21x=32y\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{32}{21}y\] B's saving \[=Rs.(9x-9y)=9\left( \frac{32}{21}-1 \right)y\]             \[=Rs.\frac{99}{21}y\] and C's saving \[=Rs.\left( \frac{12\times 32}{21}-15 \right)y\]                         \[=Rs.\frac{69}{21}y\] \[\therefore \] Ratio of their saving             \[=\frac{8}{3}y:\frac{99}{21}y:\frac{69}{21}y\]             \[=\text{ }56:\text{ }99:\text{ }69\]
