    Question

    Initially, Meena had a salary of Rs. 45,000 and her

    expenses to savings were in the ratio 5:4. After her salary increase, she spent 10% less and saved 50% more. What was the increment in her salary?
    A Rs.7500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.5600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.9500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Initially, expenditure of Meena = 45000 × (5/9) = Rs. 25,000

    Initially, savings of Meena = 45000 × (4/9) = Rs. 20,000

    After salary hike, expenditure = 25000 × (90/100) = Rs. 22,500

    After salary hike, savings = 20000 × (150/100) = Rs. 30,000

    So, increased salary = 22500 + 30000 = Rs. 52,500

    Required salary hike = 52500 – 45000 = Rs. 7,500
