Answer Posted / lava kumar
Let the intial salary=100;
Therefore Money left =90;
After the increament salary=110;
Therefore Money left=110-(110*15/100)=93.5
Assume that he gets salary=x;
For
100-90;
110-93.5;
x-350;
Therfore,after interpolating
We get,
732 is his salary
Please correct me if iam wrong.
