Answer 2

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salary of ram = 2x

salary of Shyam = 3x

According to the question,

$\frac{2x+2000}{3x+2000}=\frac{40}{57}$

$57(2x+2000)=40(3x+2000)$

$57(2x+2000)=40(3x+2000)$

57( x + 1000 ) = 20( 3x + 2000 )

57x + 57000 = 60x + 40000

60x - 57x = 57000 - 40000

3x = 17000

So, Shyam's Salary = Rs. 17000

Therefore, Option A is correct.
