IBM Company Numerical Ability Ratio and Proportion

The monthly salaries of two persons are in the ratio of 4:7. If each receives an increase of Rs.25 in the salary, the ratio is altered to 3: 5. Find their respective salaries.

Read Solution (Total 5)

Let the salaries be 4x and 7x

Therefore,

5(4x + 25) = 3(7x + 25)

20x + 125 = 21x + 75

x = 50

Therefore, their salaries are 4(50) & 7(50) i.e., 200 & 350

4x+25/7x+25=3/5
=5(4x+25)=3(7x+25)
20x+125=21x+75
we will get x=50
so respective salaries is:-
225 and 395 respectively
