ABHINAV PUSHPAM   9 years AGO

Let the salary of Bhuwan be 100. Then, salary of Mahindra will be 50
50% rise in salary of Mahindra equals to 75
Similarly, 25% rise in salary of Bhuwan equals to 125.
So , the combined new salary is 200.
%age increase = {(200-150)/150}*100
= 33.33%

m's sal = x
b's sal = x/2
total sal= x + x/2 = 3x/2
after increasing:
m's sal = (150/100)*(x/2) = 3/4*x
b's sal = (125/100)*(x) = 5/4*x
total sal = 2x
increase = 2x-(3x/2) = x/2
increase percentage = (x/2)*(100/3x) = 33.33 %

B=100...........25%=125
M=50............50%=75
Total=150. Total=200
So the differenence is 50.
Therefore formula is (50÷150)×100=33.33

Let us consider Mahindra's salary be x
then Bhuvan's salary will be 2x
So total salary will be 3x

Now Mahindra got 50% rise so his salary now is 1.5x
and Bhuvan got 25% rise so his salary will be 1.25(2x) = 2.5x
So total salary = 4x

Therefore total increment is of x out of 3x
so (x/3x)*100=33.33%

Let Bhuwan's salary be 100.
Then Mahindra's salary = 50

Now, after rise in salary, Mahindra is getting 50+25=75 and Bhuwan is getting 100+25=125.

Total increase = 25+25=50 whereas total salary before increase was 100+50=150.
