Solution

Let the fixed monthly income be Rs x. 

Annual increment be Rs y. 

After 4 years, his monthly salary was Rs. 4500 

Monthly salary + annual increment of 4 years = 4500

x + 4y = 4500   ...(I)

After 10 years his monthly salary became 5400 rupees

Monthly salary + annual increment of 10 years = 5400

x + 10y = 5400    ...(II)

Subtracting I from II

x + 4y = 4500

x + 10y = 5400

−   −      −         
    −6y    = −900

∴ y = 150

put y = 150 in equation (I)

x + 4y = 4500

x + 4 × 150 = 4500

x + 600 = 4500

x = 4500 − 600

x = 3900

Thus, the monthly salary = Rs. 3900

Annual increment = Rs.150

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3. If 5 is added in each numbers, then the ratio becomes 5:7 find the numbers.

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3.

So, let the first number be 2x and the second number be `square`.

From the given condition,

`((2x) + square)/(square + square) = square/square`

`square (2x + square) = square (square + square)`

`square + square = square + square`

`square - square = square - square`

`- square = - square`

x = `square`

So, The first number = `2 xx square = square`

and, Second number =  `3 xx square = square`

Hence, the two numbers are `square` and `square`
