salary?

B. Rs.42.000
C. Rs.46,000
D. Rs.47.500
30​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We take, Rohan's salary = 2x

Nishant's salary = 3x

So,

2x+5000÷3x+5000= 40/57

=> 57 (2x+5000) = 40 (3x+5000)

=> 114x + 285000 = 120x + 200000

=> 120x - 114x = 285000 - 200000

=> 6x = 85000

Now, dividing 2 on both sides

=> 3x = 42500

Now, as we know we took Nishant's salary

as 3x, so his salary is 42500

Again, after his salary has increased by rs.5000,

42500+5000

= 47,500

Therefore, the answer will be :

Option d) 47,500
