Salaries of A and B are in the ratio 4 : 5 . If the salary of each is increased by ₹3000 then new ratio becomes 5 : 6 . What is A's salary?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let Actual salary of A's = 4R
& Actual salary of B's = 5R
Now, ATQ
⇒ \(\frac{4R\;+\;3000}{5R\;+\;3000}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
⇒ (24R ) + (18000) = (25R ) + (15000 )
⇒ R = 3000
Here,
A's salary = 4R = 4 × 3000 = Rs.12000/-
