Question

5.Salaries of Ravi and Sumit are in the ratio 2:3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs.4000, the new ratio becomes 40: 57. What is Sumit's present salary​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

Ratio of salaries of Ravi and Sumit = 2 : 3.

Increased salary = 4000 each.

New ratio of Ravi and Sumit = 40 : 57.

Calculation:

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 = 68000

⇒ 3x = 34000

∴ Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38000.
