Correct Answer: 15 : 28


Solution : Given: The ratio of the salaries of Abhi and Monu is 6 : 11.
Their salaries are increased by 10% and 12%, respectively.
Let Abhi's salary be INR 600.
Then, Monu's salary be INR 1,100.
According to the question,
[600(1 + 10%)] : [1100(1 + 12%)]
= [600(1 + 0.10)] : [1100(1 + 0.12)]
= [600 × 1.10)] : [1100 × 1.12]
= 660 : 1232
= 15 : 28
Hence, the correct answer is 15 : 28.
