Explanation

Let Anil's income be 2x, Mukesh's be 3x. Given expenditure sum = 8000, and Anil's savings = Mukesh's expenditure. Let Anil's expenditure = Ea, savings = Sa. Mukesh's expenditure = Em, savings = Sm. We have: Ea + Em = 8000, and Sa = Em. Also: 2x = Ea + Sa, 3x = Em + Sm. Substituting Sa = Em: 2x = Ea + Em, 3x = Em + Sm. From Ea + Em = 8000, we get 2x = 8000, so x = 4000. Total savings = Sa + Sm = Em + (3x - Em) = 3x = 12000.
