Correct Answer: Rs. 1200


Solution : Let's assume Sachdev's salary = 100 units
After increment of 5%, new salary = 105 units
Sachdev's monthly salary = $\frac{15120}{12}$ = Rs. 1260
According to the question,
105 units ⇒ Rs. 1260
Sachdev's salary
= $\frac{1260×100}{105}$
= Rs. 1200
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1200.
