Explanation:

Let's assume that the monthly income of the family is x.

From the problem statement, we know that the ratio of monthly income to the monthly saving is 9:2.

Therefore, we can write:

x/4320 = 9/2

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

2x = 9*4320

2x = 38,880

x = 19,440

So, the monthly income of the family is Rs 19,440.

To find the monthly expenditure, we can subtract the monthly savings from the monthly income:

Monthly expenditure = Monthly income - Monthly saving

Monthly expenditure = 19,440 - 4,320

Monthly expenditure = 15,120

Therefore, the monthly expenditure of the family is Rs 15,120
