Question

The salary of two employees is 7 : 8 and the total salary of both of them is RS. 3,450. What reduction of equal amount should be made in their salaries so that the salary ratio becomes 5 : 6 ?

Answer 1

460

Step-by-step explanation:

7+8 = 15 units => 3450

1 unit = 230 , 7 units = 1610 ,8 units = 1840

let required reduction be 'x'

(1610 - x)/(1840 - x) = 5/6

=> x = Rs 460
