Download Solution PDFGiven:
The salaries of Rida and Riya are in the ratio of 3 : 5, respectively.
If the salary of each one is increased by Rs. 5,000, then the new ratio becomes 5 : 7.
Calculation:
Let the present salaries of Rida and Riya be 3k and 5k respectively.
According to the question,
(3k + 5000) : (5k + 5000) = 5 : 7
⇒ 21k + 35000 = 25k + 25000
⇒ 4k = 10000
⇒ k = 2500
⇒ 5k = 12500
∴ The present salary of Riya is Rs. 12,500.
