Let's denote A's salary as 'a' and B's salary as 'b'.

From the problem, we know that:

1. a + b = 2000 (since their combined salary is Rs. 2000)

2. A spends 95% of his salary and B spends 85% of his salary. This means that A saves 5% of his salary and B saves 15% of his salary.

Since their savings are the same, we can write this as:

0.05a = 0.15b

To solve for 'a', we can rearrange the equation to get:

a = 3b

Now we can substitute 'a' from the second equation into the first equation:

3b + b = 2000
4b = 2000
b = 500

Substitute b = 500 into a = 3b to get a = 1500

So, A's salary is Rs. 1500. The answer is A1500.
