The total salary of two employees, A and B, in an organisation was ₹40,000. After increasing the salary of A by 9% and of B by 11%, the total salary of A and B becomes ₹44,100. What was the initial salary of A?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Sum of salary of A & B = 40000
After increment , New sum of salary of A & B = 44100
Overall percentage increment in salary = \(\frac{Increment\; in \;salary}{Sum\; of\; original \;salary}\) × 100
= \(\frac{4100}{40000}\) × 100
= 10.25%
Using Allegation Method,
ATQ ,
8R = 40000
1R = \(\frac{40000}{8}\)
= 5000
Initial salary of A = 3R = 3 × 5000 = 15000
