Solution

The correct option is A (Rs. 140000)

Let the salary before the increment be Rs.100
Increase in salary =Rs.10

Increased salary =Rs.(100+10)=Rs.110

If increased salary is Rs.110, original salary =Rs.100

If increased salary is Rs.154000, original salary =Rs.(100110×154000)
=10×14000
=Rs.1,40,000
Hence, the salary of the man before increment was Rs.1,40,000.
