Let's take the following assumptions to simplify the problem:
Now according to the problem, Tom saves 10% more than his expenditure. Mathematically, ( X − x ) + ( X − x ) × 1 0 % = y ⇒ 1 0 ( X − x ) 1 1 = x ⇒ X = 1 1 2 1 x ---(1)
And Jerry spends 10% more than his savings. So mathematically,
( Y − y ) + ( Y − y ) × 1 0 % = y ⇒ 1 0 ( Y − y ) 1 1 = y ⇒ Y = 1 1 2 1 y ---(2)
And also given that Tom's savings is 10% more than Jerry's expenditure. So,
y + y × 1 0 % = x ⇒ 1 0 1 1 y = x ⇒ y x = 1 0 1 1 ---(3)
Now lets enter into the simplifying part : −
Dividing (1) by (2) we get
Y X = ( 1 1 2 1 y ) ( 1 1 2 1 x ) = y x
From the equation (3), we can substitute the value of y x into the above equation and we will get
Y X = 1 0 1 1
Hence the ratio of the total incomes of Tom and Jerry is 1 1 : 1 0 . □
