Answer:

The present salary of Sumit is Rs.38,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.

Then,

2x+4000/ 3x+4000 = 40/57

=> 57(2x + 4000) = 40(3x + 4000)

=>6x = 68,000

=> 3x = 34,000  

Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000.

Hope this helps you.
