Salaries of Ram and Shyam are in the ratio 2 : 3. If the salary of each is increased by ₹4000 then new ratio becomes 40 : 57. What is Shyam's salary?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Actual salary of Ram = 2R
Actual salary of Shyam = 3R
Now, ATQ
⇒ \(\frac{2R\;+\;4000}{3R\;+\;4000}\) = \(\frac{40}{57}\)
⇒ (2R × 57) + (4000 × 57) = (3R × 40) + (4000 × 40)
⇒ 6R = (57 - 40) × 4000
⇒ 6R = 68000
Here,
Shyam salary = 3R = \(\frac{68000}{2}\) = Rs.34000/-
