Question

Pooja started her job with certain monthly salary and gets a fixed increment every year If her salary was Rs 4200 after 3 years and Rs 6800 after 8 years of service then what are her initial salary and the annual increment (in Rs)?

• A. 2640,320
• B. 2460,320
• C. 2460,520
• D. 2640,520

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2640,520

Given the Pooja salary after 3 years is Rs 4200 and after 8 years is Rs 6800

Then salary increased in 5 years =6800-4200=2600 Rs

Then salary increased in one year=$\frac{2600}{5}=520$

And salary increased in three years= $520\times 3=1560$ Rs

Then initial salary =4200-1560=2640 Rs

Then initial salary and annual increment are Rs 2640 and Rs 520
