Salaries of A and B are in the ratio 1 : 3. If the salary of each is increased by ₹2000 then new ratio becomes 3 : 4. What is B's salary?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let Actual salary of A's = 1R
& Actual salary of B's = 3R
Now, ATQ
⇒ \(\frac{1R\;+\;2000}{3R\;+\;2000}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
⇒ (4R ) + (8000) = (9R ) + (6000 )
⇒ 5R = 2000
⇒ R = \(\frac{2000}{5}\) = 400
Here,
B's salary = 3R = 3 × 400 = Rs.1200/-
