Solution

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

  1. We know that the ratio of A and B's incomes last year was 9:10. Let's assume the actual incomes were 9x and 10x.

  2. The ratios of their individual incomes of the last year and the present year are given as 3:5 and 5:7 for A and B respectively. So, A's income this year is (5/3)*9x and B's income this year is (7/5)*10x.

  3. The total income for the present year is given as 1,16,000. So, (5/3)*9x + (7/5)*10x = 1,16,000.

  4. Solving this equation, we find that x = 3000.

  5. Therefore, A's income this year is 15000 and B's income this year is 21000.

  6. The difference in their incomes this year is 21000 - 15000 = 6000.

However, 6000 is not an option in the given choices. There seems to be a mistake in the problem or the options provided.
