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.

• 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
