• A. 50%
• B. 40%
• C. 60%
• D. 30%

Answer 1

The correct option is B 40%

$\Rightarrow$ Original Salary is $Rs.1250$.

$\Rightarrow$ Increased Salary is $Rs.1750.$

$\Rightarrow$ $PercentageIncreased=\frac{Increasedvalue-originalvalue}{Originalvalue}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{1750-1250}{1250}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{50000}{1250}=40\%$

$\Rightarrow$ The percentage increase in his salary was $40\%$
