One year ago the ratio between A’s salary and B’s salary was 5 ? 6

Ratio of last year to present year salary of A = 2 ? 3

⇒ Present year salary = 3/2 times the last year

Ratio of last year to present year salary of B = 3 ? 4

⇒ Present year salary = 4/3 times the last year

One year ago the ratio between A’s salary and B’s salary was 5 ? 6

⇒ Present year salary ratio = 5 × 3/2 ? 6 × 4/3 = 15 ? 16

Sum of current salary of A and B = Rs. 6200

∴ Present salary of B = (16 × 6200) /31 = Rs. 3200

A : B

Old salary ratio 5 : 6

Old : present salary ratio= 2 : 3 , 3 : 4

Present year salary ratio= 5×3/2 : 6×4/3

= 15 : 16

Sum of Present salary = 6200


Present salary of B = 6200 × 16/31 = 3200
