Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 1,44,000 Given: Salaries of Ravi and Ankit are in the ratio 5 : 7 The salary of each is increased by Rs. 6000 Calculation: Let the original salaries of Ravi and Ankit be Rs. 5x and 7x respectively. Then, ⇒ (5x + 6000)/(7x + 6000) = 11/15 ⇒ 15(5x + 6000) = 11(7x + 6000) ⇒ 75x + 90000 = 77x + 66000 ⇒ 2x = 24000 ⇒ x = 12000 Total salary of Ravi and Ankit = 5x + 7x ⇒ 5 × 12000 + 7 × 12000 ⇒ Rs. 1,44,000 ∴ The sum of salary of Ravi and Ankit is Rs. 1,44,000. |
