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?

Rs. 17,000

Rs. 20,000

Rs. 25,500

Rs. 38,000

Explanation:

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

Then,$\dfrac{2x+4000}{3x+4000}=\dfrac{40}{57}$

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

=> 6x = 68,000

=> 3x = 34000

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