      A Rs.2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.1800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the new salary of the person be Rs. '100x'

      So, old salary of the person = 100x × 0.75 = Rs. '75x'

      So, 100x - 75x = 500

      So, 25x = 500

      So, x = 20

      So, old salary of the person = 20 × 75 = Rs. 1,500
