Question

Salaries of Ravi sumit are in the ratio 2:3,lf the salary of each is increased by 4000, then new ratio becomes 40:57 what is suumit present salary

Answer 1

Answer: 38000

Explanation: Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.

Then,

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

⇒ 57 × (2x + 4000) = 40 × (3x+4000)

⇒ 6x = 68,000

⇒ 3x = 34,000

Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000
