- Rs. 3600
- Rs. 6300
- None of these
Answer: (3) Rs.6300
Explanation:-
The ratio of the weekly income of Sohan and Surendra = 7 : 3
Then, Let the weekly income of Sohan = 7 X & the weekly income of Surendra = 3 X
According to the question,
(7 X – 300) / (3 X- 300) = 5/ 2
BY cross multiplication.
2 x 7 X – 2 x 300 = 5 x 3 X – 5 x 300
14 X – 600 = 15 X – 1500
15 X – 14 X = 1500 – 600
X = 900
Then, the weekly income of Sohan is 7 X = 7 x 900
= Rs.6300
Hence, the answer is (3) Rs.6300.
