Answer 2

Ajit's previous salary was Rs 24607.14.

Explanation:

Let, his previous salary be, 'a'.

Increased rate = 12%

∴ The salary got increased by = (a×12/100)

                                                 = 3a/25

∴ His present salary = (a+3a/25)

                                = (25a+3a)/25 [∵ The L.C.M. is 25.]

                               = 28a/25

According to the problem,

28a/25 = 27560

⇒ 28a = (27560×25)

⇒ a = (689000/28)

⇒ a = Rs 24607.14

∴ Ajit's previous salary was Rs 24607.14.
