Question

Subba Rao started work in $1995$ at an monthly salary of $Rs.5000$ and received an increment of $Rs.200$ each year. In which year did his salary reach $Rs.7000$?

Answer 1

Let number of years taken by him to reach $Rs.7000$ be $x$

Salary of Subba Rao in $1995$ is $Rs.5000$

Increment for every year is $Rs.200$

$⟹5000+200x=7000$

$⟹200x=2000$

$⟹x=10$

In $1995+10=2005$ Subba Rao will get salary of $Rs.7000$
