Correct Answer

Explanation


Let X be the income of A.
Then, the income of B is 4X.

The expenditure of A is 2X * 2/3 = 4/3X.
The expenditure of B is 4X * 3/3 = 4X.

We are given that the saving in each case is 200, so we can set up the following equations:
X - 4/3X = 200
4X - 4X = 400

Solving these equations gives us X = 200.

Substituting this value back into the equations for the income of A and B, we find that the income of A is 3 * 200 = 600 and the income of B is 4 * 200 = 800.

Therefore, the income of A is 600 and the income of B is 800.
