The ratio of the present salaries of Vinod and Manoj is 6 : 7
If both of them get their salaries increased by Rs. 16,000, then the ratio becomes 8 : 9.
Calculation:
Let the present salaries of Vinod and Manoj be 6x and 7x respectively
According to the question
(6x + 16000) / (7x + 16000) = 8/9
⇒ 9 (6x + 16000) = 8 (7x + 16000)
⇒ 54x + 144000 = 56x + 128000
⇒ 56x – 54x = 144000 – 128000
⇒ 2x = 16000
⇒ x = 16000/2
⇒ x = 8000
∴ Present salary of Manoj = 7 × 8000 = Rs. 56,000.
