Solution 1

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. The total income of A, B, and C is Rs 6060.

  2. They spend 80%, 85%, and 75% of their incomes respectively. This means they save 20%, 15%, and 25% of their incomes respectively.

  3. Their savings are in the ratio 5:6:9. This means the total savings can be divided into 20 (5+6+9) equal parts.

  4. Let's assume the total savings is S. So, each part of the savings is S/20.

  5. The savings of A is 5 parts, so it's 5S/20 = S/4.

  6. We know that savings is the part of income that is not spent. So, if A saves 20% of his income, this 20% is equal to S/4.

  7. Let's assume the income of A is I. So, 20% of I is equal to S/4, which means I = S/(4*20%).

  8. But we don't know the total savings S. We can find it from the total income and the percentages of income that A, B, and C spend.

  9. The total income that A, B, and C spend is 80%+85%+75% = 240% of their incomes, which is Rs 6060. So, 240% of their total income I is Rs 6060, which means I = Rs 6060 / 240%.

  10. The total savings S is the total income I minus the total amount spent, which is Rs 6060 - 240% of I.

  11. Now we can substitute I from step 9 into step 10 to find S, and then substitute S into step 7 to find the income of A.

After doing the calculations, we find that the income of A is Rs 1500. So, the correct answer is Rs 1500.

Solution 2

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. The total income of A, B, and C is Rs 6060. They spend 80%, 85%, and 75% of their incomes respectively. This means they save 20%, 15%, and 25% of their incomes respectively.

  2. Their savings are in the ratio 5:6:9. Let's assume the savings of A, B, and C as 5x, 6x, and 9x respectively.

  3. The total savings of A, B, and C would be 5x + 6x + 9x = 20x.

  4. As savings are a part of the income, the total income (Rs 6060) would be equal to the total savings. So, 20x = 6060. Solving for x, we get x = 6060 / 20 = Rs 303.

  5. Now, we know that A saves 20% of his income and his savings are 5x. So, 20% of A's income = 5x = 5 * 303 = Rs 1515.

  6. As 20% is 1/5th of the total, the total income of A would be 5 times his savings. So, the income of A = 5 * 1515 = Rs 7575.
