Question

bobby was appointed to kfc in the pay scale of rs.7000-500-12500. find how many years he will take to reach the maximum of the scale. (a)8 years (b)

Answer 1

The pay scale given to us is Rs. 7000-500-12500.

This means that Bobby joins at a pay of Rs. 7000 and there will be an increment of Rs. 500 per year till he reaches Rs.12,500.

Now, the difference between the highest and the lowest is:

Rs. 12500-Rs. 7000=Rs. 5500

Now, if the increment is Rs. 500 per year, then, to get a total increment of Rs. 5500, Bobby will have to work for:

$\frac{5500}{500}=11$ years.

Therefore, the option with 11 years is the correct answer.
