Salary of Sita two years ago = 2000

After 1 year ,

Salary of Sita = 2000 + 20% of 2000

                      = 2000 + (20/100) × 2000

                      = 2000 + 400

                      = 2400

After 2 years ( that is now)

Salary of Sita = 2400 + 20% of 2400

                      = 2400 + (20/100) × 2400

                      = 2400 + 480

                      = 2880

we can also check our answer by other quicker method

since each year increase in salay is 20% = 100% + 20% = 120% = 120/100 = 1.20

so in two years salary increase = 2000 × 1.2 × 1.2 = 2880

Hence current salary of Sita is 2880
