Question 66

The ratio of the salaries of Abbi and Monu is 6: 11. If their salaries are increased by 10 percent and 12 percent, respectively, then what will be the new ratio of their salaries?

Solution

The ratio of the salaries of Abbi and Monu is 6: 11.

Let's assume the salaries of Abbi and Monu are 6y and 11y respectively.

If their salaries are increased by 10 percent and 12 percent respectively, then the new ratio of their salaries = 6y of (100+10)% : 11y of (100+12)%

= 6y of 110% : 11y of 112%

= $$6y\times\frac{110}{100}\ :11y\times\frac{112}{100}$$

= $$6y\times110\ :\ 11y\times112$$

= $$60\ :\ 112$$

= $$15\ :\ 28$$
