Correct answer is: Rs.40 lakhs
Explanation:
A : B = 5 : 8
Let A's income be 5x and B's income be 8x.
According to question.\(\Large \frac{5x+25}{8x}=\frac{5}{4}\)
\(\frac{5 \left(x+5\right) }{4 \times 2x}=\frac{5}{4} => \frac{x+5}{2x} = 1\)
x + 5 = 2x
x = 5\(\text{B's Income} = 8x = 8×5\)
= Rs.40 lakhs.
