(D) Let the incomes of $P$ and $Q$ be $3x$ and $4x$ respectively.Let the expenditures of $P$ and $Q$ be $2y$ and $3y$ respectively.We know that $	ext{Income} - 	ext{Expenditure} = 	ext{Savings}$.For $P$: $3x - 2y = 2000$  --- (Equation $1$)For $Q$: $4x - 3y = 2000$  --- (Equation $2$)From Equation $1$,$2y = 3x - 2000$,so $y = (3x - 2000) / 2$.Substitute $y$ into Equation $2$:$4x - 3((3x - 2000) / 2) = 2000$Multiply by $2$: $8x - 3(3x - 2000) = 4000$$8x - 9x + 6000 = 4000$$-x = -2000$,so $x = 2000$.The income of $P$ is $3x = 3 	imes 2000 = ₹ 6000$.

The ratio of incomes of $P$ and $Q$ is $3:4$ and the ratio of their expenditures is $2:3$. If at the end of the year,each saves ₹ $2000$,then the income of $P$ is (in ₹):
