Answer 1

$\huge{ \underbrace{ \text{Question}}}$

• A man got a 10% increase in his salary.If his new salary is Rs.154000 , find his original salary.

$\huge{ \underline{ \text{Given}}}$

• He got 10% increase in his salary
• New salary is ₹ 154000

$\huge{ \underline{ \text{To \: find}}}$

• His original salary.

$\huge{ \underline{ \underline{ \text{Solution}}}}$

Let us assume, his original salary is ₹100

Hence, according to the question,

His increased salary is = ₹(100+10) = ₹110

Now,

$\sf{If \: increased \: salary \: is \: ₹100 \: original \: salary \: is \: ₹110}$

$\sf{ \therefore{If \: increased \: salary \: is \: ₹1 \: original \: salary \: is \: ₹ \frac{100}{110} }}$

$\sf{ \therefore{If \: increased \: salary \: is \: ₹154000\: original \: salary \: is \: ₹\frac{100 \times 154000}{110} }}$

$\sf{ \therefore \: Original \: salary \: is \: \orange{ \boxed {₹140000}}}$

Hence, his original salary is ₹140000
