Question

If the ratio between the monthly incomes of M and N is 7 : 11, N's monthly income is 8000 more than M. Then what is the monthly income of N?

1. 22000
2. 14000
3. 7000
4. 11000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 22000

Let the common multiple be x.

So, monthly income of M = 7x

And monthly income of N = 11x

N’s monthly income is 8000 more than M.

According to question:

11x – 7x = 8000

4x = 8000

x = 2000

Monthly income of N = 11x

= 11 × 2000

= 22000

Hence, monthly income of N is 22000.
