SBI PO 02 July 2016 Shift 2 Paper

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

2x+4000

3x+4000

=

40

57

⇒ 57 (2x + 4000)
= 40 (3x + 4000)
⇒ 114x + 228000
= 120x + 160000
= 6x = 228000 – 160000
⇒ 6x = 68000
⇒ 3x = 34000
∴ Sumit’s present salary
= Rs. (3x + 4000)
= Rs. 38000
