Varun and Kartik purchased the shares in ratio 7:9 for the cost of their basic salaries. The company gave each of them 50 shares as incentive, due to which the ratio changes to 9:11. If each share cost is Rs. 60. Find basic salary of Varun.

Solution & Explanation Let Varun's initial shares be 7x and Kartik's be 9x. After receiving 50 incentive shares each, their shares become (7x+50) and (9x+50). The new ratio is (7x+50)/(9x+50) = 9/11. Solving this equation yields x=25. Varun's actual shares are 7x = 175 shares. Since each share costs Rs. 60, Varun's basic salary is 175 * 60 = Rs. 10500.
