      salary is increased by 35%, his total salary becomes Rs. 52,920. What is the salary of P?
      A Rs. 27350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 28000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 23000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 17260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the salary of P and Q be 5x and 7x respectively. Then, 7x × 135/100 = 52,920 x = (52920×100)/(135×7)  = Rs. 5600 ∴ P’s salary = 5x  = 5 × 5600 = Rs. 28000
