Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Ratio of salaries of A and B = 6 : 7
B's salary increased by \(5\frac{1}{2}\%\)
Total salary of B = Rs. 147700
Calculation:
Let salary of A and B be Rs. 60x and Rs. 70x
Now,
Increased salary of B = 70x + 70x × \(5\frac{1}{2}\%\)
⇒ Rs. 73.85x
According to the question,
73.85x = 147700
⇒ x = 147700/73.85
⇒ x = 2000
So, actual salary of A = 60 × 2000
⇒ Rs. 120000
∴ The salary (in Rs.) of A is 120000.
