Now

Answer 2

Here's the solution:

Let the commone ratio be x

therefore there saley becomes 2x and 3x

Since there is an increment in the salary of 4000

New salary of Ravi = 2x + 4000
New salary of Sumit = 3x + 4000

According to Question

2x + 4000 / 3x +4000 == 40 / 57

on cross multiplying we get

114x + 228000 = 120x + 160000

120x -114x = 228000 -160000

6x = 68000

3x = 34000

Summit's present salary :
3x + 4000 = 34000 + 4000 = 38000

Therefore Summit's present salary will be 38000.
