Ravi and Sumit's salaries are in a 2:3 ratio. If each person's pay is increased by Rs. 4000, the new ratio is 40:57. What is Sumit's remuneration?
A. Rs. 17,000 B. Rs. 20,000 C. Rs. 25,500 D. Rs. 38,000
Explanation: Let's say Ravi and Sumit's initial wages were Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x, respectively.Then 40/57 = 2x + 4000/3x + 4000,40(3x + 4000) x 57(2x + 4000) x 57(2x + 4000) x 57(2x + 4000) x68,000 = 6x,34,000 = 3x,Sumit's current pay is Rs. (3x + 4,000) = Rs. (34,000 + 4,000)=Rs38,000.
