Let the ratio of Amit and Akhil's salary be x:y
Since, the ratio of their salaries are in the ratio 3:5.
x:y = 3:5
5x = 3y
(Equation 1)
Since, the salary is increased by Rs 7000 then the new ratio becomes 11:16.
16(x+7000) = 11(y+7000)
16x + 112000 = 11y+77000
16x - 11y = 77000 - 112000
16x - 11y = -35000 (Equation 2)
Substituting the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2.
y = 25000
New salary of Akhil = 25000+7000 = Rs 32000
Hence, the salary of Akhil is Rs 32,000.
