Aptitude - Ratio and Proportion - Discussion

You all have explained to get the salary of Summit's salary but, I need to know what is Ravi's? Can any one explain?

Question is what is salary of sumit not the new salary of sumit.

According to me right answer is 34000.

@Shalini I agree.

The question "What is Sumit's salary?" should be more clear.

-Is it Sumit's "present" salary?

-Or is it Sumit's "new" salary?

At first, I thought the question was asking for Sumit's "current" salary. The answer should be Rs. 34, 000.

But the given answer is Rs. 38, 000. That is Sumit's "new" salary (34, 000+4, 000) ("If" he got the raise) not Sumit's "present" salary as written in the explanation.

Why every one is taking this new ratio as 40/57 there may be a multiple for this i.e 40y/57y, here y is the multiple number other then x, can any one explain me about this, while doing cross multiplication it is important I think.

Please explain where did 68000 come from?

Please explain me very short answer.

Hello friends,

Already this sum answer is given,
Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then, 2x + 4000 = 40.
3x + 4000 = 57,
Till here you public know from where this come,
After that 6x = 68000, this is little bit question to us. From where this we got.

Here is the answer.

Across multiple,
57 (2x + 4000) =40 (3x + 4000).
2 * 3x = 6x, 57 - 40 = 17, 4000 is common.
6x = 17 * 4000.
6x = 68000. Here we solve sum doubt.

Going forward, we have to find Sumit salary.
6x = 68000 divide two as per the given ratio.
3x = 34000.

So here we got the value of 3x = 34000.

Sumit salary is 3x + 4000.
Therefore, 3x = 34000 + 4000.
Answer is 38000 Rs.

Please tell me. How 114x -120x = 228000 - 160000 becomes 6x = 68000 instead of -6x = 68000?

I think, it should be 114x - 120x = -6x.

The Salaries of Yasmeen and Adnan are in the ratio 1 : 2. If the salary of each is increased by Rs. 3000, the new ratio becomes 40 : 57. What is Adnan's present salary? Please solve this.

What is the solution for finding the Ravi's salary?
