The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote Gaurav's salary as \( G \) and Azam's salary as \( A \). We know the following: 1. The total salary of Gaurav and Azam is given as: \[ G + A = 47520 \] 2. After the salary increases, Gaurav's salary increases by 23% and Azam's salary increases by 30%. The new total salary is: \[ G \times 1.23 + A \times 1.30 = 59928 \] Now, we can set up the equations based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Express Azam's salary in terms of Gaurav's salary From the first equation: \[ A = 47520 - G \] ### Step 2: Substitute Azam's salary into the second equation Substituting \( A \) in the second equation gives: \[ 1.23G + 1.30(47520 - G) = 59928 \] ### Step 3: Expand and simplify the equation Expanding the equation: \[ 1.23G + 1.30 \times 47520 - 1.30G = 59928 \] Calculating \( 1.30 \times 47520 \): \[ 1.30 \times 47520 = 61776 \] Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ 1.23G - 1.30G + 61776 = 59928 \] Combining like terms: \[ -0.07G + 61776 = 59928 \] ### Step 4: Isolate Gaurav's salary Subtract \( 61776 \) from both sides: \[ -0.07G = 59928 - 61776 \] Calculating the right side: \[ 59928 - 61776 = -1848 \] So we have: \[ -0.07G = -1848 \] ### Step 5: Solve for Gaurav's salary Dividing both sides by \(-0.07\): \[ G = \frac{-1848}{-0.07} = 26400 \] ### Step 6: Calculate Azam's salary Now substituting \( G \) back into the equation for \( A \): \[ A = 47520 - 26400 = 21120 \] ### Step 7: Find the difference between their salaries Now, we find the difference between Gaurav's and Azam's salaries: \[ \text{Difference} = G - A = 26400 - 21120 = 5280 \] Thus, the difference between their salaries is: \[ \boxed{5280} \]
