Question

Salaries of Ravi and Sumit are in the ratio 2 : 3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs. 4000, the new ratio becomes 40 : 57. What is Sumit's salary?

Options:

A . Rs. 17,000

B . Rs. 20,000

C . Rs. 25,500

D . Rs. 38,000

Answer: Option D

Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.

Then,
2x + 4000
=
40
3x + 4000
57

57(2x + 4000) = 40(3x + 4000)

6x = 68,000

3x = 34,000

Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000.
