The ratio between the salaries of Avi, Manu, and Ram is 2x : 3x : 4y. If the salary of Ram is twice the salary of Avi and salary of Manu is Rs. 12000 then what will be the ratio between the sum of Avi and Manu's salary to the Manu and Ram's salary? Correct Answer 5 : 7

Given:

Ratio of salaries of Avi, Manu and Ram are 2x : 3x : 4y

Salary of Manu = Rs. 12000

Calculation:

Salary of Manu = 3x = Rs. 12000

So, x = Rs. 4000

Salary of Avi = 2x = Rs. 8000

Given that the salary of Ram is twice the salary of Avi

∴ Salary of Ram = 2 × 8000 = Rs. 16000

So, 4y = 16000 or y = 4000

Sum of Avi and Manu's salary = 5x = Rs. 20000

Sum of Manu and Ram's salary = 3 × 4000 + 4 × 4000 = Rs. 28000

Hence, The required ratio = 20000 : 28000 = 5 : 7
