    C Rs.1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the new salary of the woman be Rs. '100x'. So, old salary of the woman = 100x × 0.75 = Rs.75x The increase in salary is given as: 100x−75x = 600. 25x = 600. x = 24. So, old salary of the woman = 75 × 24 = Rs.1,800.
