  • Question
  • 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?


  • Options
  • A. 38000
  • B. 46800
  • C. 36700
  • D. 50000

  • Correct 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
