- Salaries of Ravi and Sumit are in the ratio 2:3.
Question 1:
Salaries of Ravi and Sumit are in the ratio 2:3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs. 4000, the new ratio becomes 40:57.What is Sumit's salary?
A. 38000
Feedback 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
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
B. 46800
C. 36700
D. 50000
