    D)  Rs. 24000

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the incomes of P and Q be Rs. \[3x\] and Rs. \[4x\] respectively. Again, let their expenditures ba Rs. \[2y\] and Rs. \[3y\]respectively. According to the question, \[3x-2y=6000\]                          ?(i) and       \[4x-3y=6000\]                          ?(ii) From Eqs: (i) and (ii), we get \[3x-2y=4x-3y;=x=y\] \[3x-2x=6000\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=6000\] Income of \[P=3x=3\times 6000\]= Rs. 18000
