Question 64
Mahesh’s salary is ₹12000 more than the Sumit’s salary. If the ratio of Mahesh and Sumit salary is 7 : 4, then what is the salary of Sumit?
Solution
Given:
Mahesh’s salary is ₹12000 more than the Sumit’s salary.
Therefore the difference between Mahesh and Sumit's salary is 12000.
Also given that the ratio of their salary is 7:4
let Mahesh's salary be $$7x$$ and Sumit's salary be $$4x$$.
Difference of their salary can be written as $$7x - 4x = 12000$$
$$3x = 12000$$
$$x = 4000$$
The salary of Sumit is $${4}{x}$$ = $${4}\times{4000}$$ = $$16000$$
