Jim's annual salary in 1990 was $40,000 and Jose's annual salary was $49,000. If in every year thereafter, Jim received a raise of $3,300 and Jose received a raise of $2,400, which of the following was the first year in which Jim earned more than Jose?

• as 3300$ is raise for jim's then for 10years 33000+40,000=73000
  amd $2400 is raise for jose's then for 10 yrs is 24000+49000=73000
  so at 11th year jim earn more than jose

• Ans. 11 th year means 2001
  sol:
  let after n year jim earn more than jose.
  salry of jim + n*3300 >= salry of jose + n*2400
  hence n= 10,
  but after 10 year jim will equal to jose's salary
  hence in 11th year he will pass through jose.

• diff b/w their raise is 900. so, it will take 10 years 2 make 9000 so 2001 will be the year wen jim will get more than jose.

• jim->40,000
  jose->49,000
  let x be the number of years after which jim will get more salary than jose ,
  so
  40,000+x(3,000)>49,000+x(2,400)
  =>x>15
  so after 15 years jim will get more salary than jose, in 15th year both will get equal salary
