Answer to Question 1

Poverty is not measured strictly based on income alone. There may be other factors that make one of them poorer than the other. One might be the amount of human capital that one person has that the other does not, like education or training. Another might be the amount of assets each has or the lack of good health. There are a myriad of reasons why one of them may be poorer than the other even though they make identical incomes.
