Salaries of Ram and Shyam are in the ratio 3 : 4 . If the salary of each is increased by ₹200 then new ratio becomes 6 : 7. What is Ram's salary?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Let Actual salary of Ram = 3R
& Actual salary of Shyam = 4R
Now, ATQ
⇒ \(\frac{3R\;+\;200}{4R\;+\;200}\) = \(\frac{6}{7}\)
⇒ (21R ) + (1400) = (24R ) + (1200 )
⇒ 3R = 200
⇒ 1R = \(\frac{200}{3}\)
Here,
Ram salary = 3R = 3 × \(\frac{200}{3}\) = Rs.200/-
