Monthly salaries of Anil and Kumud are in the ratio 19 : 17.

Let the monthly salaries of Anil and Kumud are 19p and 17p respectively.

Anil and Kumud get salary hike of ₹2000 and ₹1000 respectively, then the ratio in their salaries become 8 : 7.

$$\frac{19p+2000}{17p+1000}=\frac{8}{7}$$

133p + 14000 = 136p + 8000

3p = 6000

p = 2000

Present salary of Kumud = 17p = ₹34000
