Let x be the income. Therefore income of A =3x and of B = 2x . Let expenditure be y ...therefore expenditure of A = 5y and of B = 3y ... income - expenditure = savings .....1 st equation : - 3x - 5y = 1500 .......2 nd equation 2x-3y = 1500 ...saving of both A and B Is 1500 each ..as given...solve the two equation simulatneously and you will get the value of x and y

3x-1500/5x-1500 = 5/3 then cross multiply and solve it
