Solution

let incomes be 8x, 7x respectively ...... let expenses be 19y, 16y respectively ....
given, saviings of both person is equal to 2550....
so, 8x - 19y = 7x - 16y
= x = 3y ..... (1)
now, substitute (1) in
8x - 19y = 2550
= 24y - 19y = 2550
= 5y = 2550
= y = 510
using (1), x = 3×510 = 1530.
so their monthly incomes are (1530×8) and (1530×7)
therefore, their incomes are Rs12,240 and Rs10,710
