Sunil, Basid, Vikram, and Kuldeep receive salaries in the ratio of 3 : 7 : 8 : 13. If the difference between the salaries of Sunil and Basid is ₹2,000, then what is the difference between the salaries (in ₹) of Vikram and Kuldeep?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 2,500.
Let the salaries be:
Sunil = 3x, Basid = 7x, Vikram = 8x, Kuldeep = 13x
⇒ 7x - 3x = 2000
⇒ 4x = 2000
⇒ x = 500
Difference between Vikram and Kuldeep: = 13x - 8x = 5x = 2,500
