D
Correct answer
Explanation
Let P's income = 5x and Q's income = 4x. Let P's expenditure = 3y and Q's expenditure = 2y. Savings = Income - Expenditure = 1600 for each. So 5x - 3y = 1600 and 4x - 2y = 1600. From second equation: 2x - y = 800, so y = 2x - 800. Substituting in first: 5x - 3(2x - 800) = 1600, giving 5x - 6x + 2400 = 1600, so -x = -800 and x = 800. Therefore, Q's income = 4x = 4 × 800 = Rs. 3200.
