Question

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?

• A. 2,400
• B. 2,000
• C. 2,200
• D. 2,500

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 2,500

Let the salaries of Sunil : Basid : Vikram : Kuldeep = 3x : 7x : 8x : 13x

Given:
Difference between Sunil and Basid = ₹2,000

$7x - 3x = 4x = 2000$
x = 500
Now, difference between Vikram and Kuldeep:

$13x - 8x = 5x = 5 \times 500 = 2500$

Difference between the salaries of Vikram and Kuldeep = ₹2,500
