The ratio of the salaries of Abbi and Monu is 6 : 11. If their salaries are increased by 10 percent and 12 percent, respectively, then what will be the new ratio of their salaries?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 15 : 28
Let the ratio constant be x-
So,
Abbi's salary = 6x
Monu's salary = 11x
Now,
Abbi's new salary = 6x + 10% of 6x
Abbi's new salary = 6x + 0.1×6x
Abbi's new salary = 6x + 0.6x = 6.6x
Monu's new salary = 11x + 12% of 11x
Monu's new salary = 11x + 1.32x = 12.32x
So,
New ratio of their salaries =
New ratio of their salaries = 15 : 28
