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?

₹34000

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 = 68000

Here,

Shyam salary = 3R = \(\frac{68000}{2}\) = Rs.34000/-
