Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs. 30,000.
Let the salaries of Ravi and Sumit be 2x and 3x.
A/c to question
⇒(2x + 3000)/(3x + 3000) = 35/50 or 7/10
20x + 30000 = 21x + 21000
x = 9000
Sumit's previous salary = 3x = 3 × 9000 = 27000
Sumit's new salary is 27000 + 3000 = Rs. 30000
