The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the salary of B be \( x \). According to the problem, A's salary is four times B's salary. Therefore, A's salary can be expressed as: \[ \text{Salary of A} = 4x \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation According to the problem, the total salary of A and B together is Rs. 3,750. We can express this as an equation: \[ \text{Salary of A} + \text{Salary of B} = 3750 \] Substituting the expressions for A's and B's salaries into the equation gives us: \[ 4x + x = 3750 \] ### Step 3: Combine Like Terms Now, we can combine the terms on the left side of the equation: \[ 5x = 3750 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \) To find the value of \( x \), we divide both sides of the equation by 5: \[ x = \frac{3750}{5} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 750 \] ### Step 5: Find A's Salary Now that we have the value of \( x \), we can find A's salary: \[ \text{Salary of A} = 4x = 4 \times 750 = 3000 \] ### Step 6: State the Salaries Thus, the salaries of A and B are: - Salary of B: Rs. 750 - Salary of A: Rs. 3000 ### Final Answer - A's salary is Rs. 3000. - B's salary is Rs. 750. ---
