Neelam's annual income is Rs. 288000. Her annual savings amount to Rs. 36000. The ratio of her savings to her expenditure is
1 : 8
1 : 7
1 : 6
1 : 5
Given:
Annual income = ( ext{Rs } 2,88,000 )
Annual savings = ( ext{Rs } 36,000 )
Find the annual expenditure.
Expenditure = Income − Savings
( ext{Expenditure} = 2,88,000 - 36,000 )
( ext{Expenditure} = 2,52,000 )
Write the ratio of Savings : Expenditure.
( ext{Savings} : ext{Expenditure} = 36,000 : 2,52,000 )
Simplify the ratio step by step.
First, cancel common zeros by dividing both numbers by 1,000:
( 36,000 div 1,000 = 36 )
( 2,52,000 div 1,000 = 252 )
( Rightarrow 36 : 252 )
Now divide both by 6:
( 36 div 6 = 6 )
( 252 div 6 = 42 )
( Rightarrow 6 : 42 )
Divide both by 6 again:
( 6 div 6 = 1 )
( 42 div 6 = 7 )
( Rightarrow 1 : 7 )
(You can also directly divide both by 36,000 to get ( 1:7 ) in one step.)
Final Answer: ( 1 : 7 )
So the correct option is: B
