Answer 2

Answer:

The initial salary of Ramu is Rs. 266.66.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The daily wages of Ramu, Raju and Rajesh are in the ratio of 2:3:4. if the salaries are increased by 20%, 30%,15% respectively then Raju salary will increased by rs.120.

To find : What was the initial salary of Ramu?

Solution : Let x be the salary distributed in ratio 2:3:4

So,

Ramu's salary be 2x

Raju's salary be 3x

Rajesh's salary be 4x

Now,

Raju's salary increase by = 30%

i.e, $3x\times 30\%$

$=3x\times \frac{30}{100}$

$=3x\times 0.3$

$=0.9x$

Then Raju salary will increased by Rs.120.

$0.9x=120$

$x=\frac{120}{0.9}$

$x=133.33$

So, Ramu's salary be 2x

Put x=133.33

Ramu's salary will be =2(133.33)=266.66

Therefore, The initial salary of Ramu is Rs. 266.66.
