Question : The total salary of two employees, A and B, in an organisation, was INR 40,000. After increasing the salary of A by 9% and of B by 11%, the total salary of A and B becomes INR 44,100. What was the initial salary of A?
Option 1: INR 15,000
Option 2: INR 22,500
Option 3: INR 25,000
Option 4: INR 18,000
Correct Answer: INR 15,000
Solution : Let the salary of A be $x$ ⇒ The salary of B = $40000-x$ According to the question, $\frac{109}{100}x+\frac{111}{100}(40000−x)=44100$ ⇒ $\frac{109−111}{100}x=44100−44400$ ⇒ $x=\frac{300×100}{2}$ ⇒ $x=15000$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 15,000.
