Question

Gautam's monthly salary is Rs $20000$. His salary is increased by $4:5$ to his new salary?

• A. $25000$
• B. $26000$
• C. $24000$
• D. $22000$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $25000$

Let the new salary be $x$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{\text{original salary}}{\text{new salary}}$

$\frac{20000}{x}=\frac{4}{5}$

$\therefore x=25000$

Hence Gautam's new salary is Rs $25000$
