Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Ratio of salaries of X and Y = 4 : 5.
Increased salary = 5000 each.
The new ratio of X and Y = 13: 15
Calculation:
Let the original salaries of X and Y be Rs 4x and Rs 5x respectively.
According to the question,
(4x + 5000)/(5x + 5000) = 13/15
⇒ 60x + 75000 = 65x + 65000
⇒ 5x = 10000
⇒ x = 2000
Current salary of X = 4 × 2000 = Rs. 8000
∴ X's salary is Rs. 8000.
