Solution

Let original salary be Rs x

According to the question, we have

Original salary +10% increase = New salary

x+10% of x=Rs 1,54,000

x+10100x=1,54,000

10x+x10=1,54,000

11x10=1,54,000

10×110x10=10×1,54,000

11x=1,54,00,00

11x11=1,54,00,0011

x=Rs 1,40,000

Hence his original salary is Rs 1,40,000
