Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 1,44,000
Given:
Salaries of Ravi and Ankit are in the ratio 5 : 7
The salary of each is increased by Rs. 6000
Calculation:
Let the original salaries of Ravi and Ankit be Rs. 5x and 7x respectively.
Then,
⇒ (5x + 6000)/(7x + 6000) = 11/15
⇒ 15(5x + 6000) = 11(7x + 6000)
⇒ 75x + 90000 = 77x + 66000
⇒ 2x = 24000
⇒ x = 12000
Total salary of Ravi and Ankit = 5x + 7x
⇒ 5 × 12000 + 7 × 12000
⇒ Rs. 1,44,000
∴ The sum of salary of Ravi and Ankit is Rs. 1,44,000.
