Given:

The ratio of the income to the expenditure of a family = 10 : 7

The family's expenses = Rs. 10,500

Formula Used:

Savings = Income - Expenditure

Calculation:

Let the income be 10x and the expenditure be 7x.

Given, 7x = 10,500

⇒ x = 10,500 / 7

⇒ x = 1,500

Income = 10x = 10 × 1,500 = 15,000

Savings = Income - Expenditure

⇒ Savings = 15,000 - 10,500

⇒ Savings = 4,500

The savings of the family is Rs. 4,500.
