Let incomes of wife and husband be Rs. 3x and Rs. 7x respectively.

Savings of husband = Rs. (3x - 15000)

Savings of wife = Rs. (7x - 45000)

Ratio of savings = $(\frac{{3x - 15000}}{{7x - 45000}} = \frac{3}{5})$

⇒ 15x - 75000 = 21x - 135000

⇒ 6x = 60000

∴ 3x = 30000

⇒ 7x = 70000

∴ Their respective incomes are Rs. 30000 and Rs. 70000 respectively.
