The difference between their current salary is 2500 Rs. What is the difference
between the salary of Ajay last year and the salary of Bimal this year?
Answers
Answer: Rs 3750
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of Ajay's and bimal's last year was 5:2
∴ Let their last year's income be 5x and 2x respectively
Ajay's last year income / Ajay's present year income = 5 :6
∴ 5 x / Ajay's present income = 5/6
Ajay's present income = 5 x ×6 / 5
= 30 x /5
= 6 x
Similarly Bimal's last year income / Bimal's present year incom = 1:2
∴ 2 x / Bimal's present year income = 1/ 2
Bimal's present income = 2 x ×2 / 1
= 4 x
According to the question
Ajay's present income - Bimal's present income = 2500
6 x - 4x = 2500
2 x = 2500
x = 2500 /2
x = 1250
Ajay's present income = 6 x
= 6 × 1250
= Rs . 7500
Bimal's present income = 4 x
= 4 × 1250
= Rs. 5000
Ajay's last year income = 5 x
= 5× 1250
= 6250
Bimal's last year income = 2 x
= 2 × 1250
= 2500
The differenc between the income = 6250 - 2500
= 3750
