    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
