Solution(By Examveda Team)

\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{{\text{X}}\,\,\,\,\,:\,\,\,\,\,{\text{Y}}} \\ {{\text{Income}} \to }&{{5_{ \times 9}}\,\,\,:\,\,\,{4_{ \times 9}}} \\ {{\text{Expenditure}} \to }&{{9_{ \times 4}}\,\,\,:\,\,\,{7_{ \times 4}}} \\ {{\text{Saving}} \to }&{\overline {\underline {\,\,9\,\,\,\,\,\,:\,\,\,\,\,\,8\,\,} } } \end{array}\]
Y's income = X's Expenditure
Saving = 9 : 8
