The salaries of Vipin and Dinesh are in the ratio 5 : 8. If the salary of each is increased by ₹ 4,800, then new ratio becomes 7 : 10. What is Vipin's salary ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Vipin : Dinesh
Income 5 : 8
After salary increased by Rs. 4800,
⇒ New Income ratio = Vipin : Dinesh = 7 : 10
⇒ (10 - 8) = 2 units = Rs. 4800
⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 2400
⇒ Salary of Vipin = 5 x 2400 = Rs. 12000.
