Question

Salaries of amit and akhil are in the ratio ofor 3:5. If the salary is increased by rs7000 then the new ratIowa becomes 11:16. What is akhil's new salary?

Answer 1

Solution - ​​

Let the salary of Amit be ₹ 3x  

So, the salary of Akhil be ₹ 5x

 According to Question,  

3x + 7,000/5x + 7,000 = 11/16  

=> 16(3x + 7,000) = 11(5x + 7,000)  

=> 48x + 1,12,000 = 55x + 77,000  

=> 1,12,000 - 77,000 = 55x - 48x  

=> 35,000 = 7x  

=> 35,000/7 = x  

=> 5,000 = x  

Akhil's Salary = ₹ 5x  

= ₹ 5(5,000)  

= ₹ 25,000

Answer 2

Let Amit's Salary = 3x

Let Akhil's Salary = 5x

According to the given question -

$\dfrac{3x + 7000}{5x + 7000} = \dfrac{11}{16}$

Cross multiplication -

16(3x+7000) = 11(5x+7000)

48x + 1,12,000 = 55x + 77000

55x - 48x = 1,12,000 - 77000

7x = 35000

$x \: = \dfrac{35000}{7}$

$x \: = 5000$

Hence : Akhil's New salary is 5(5000) = 25000.
