Solution:
Given: Percentage of increase in salary = 10%
New Salary = Rs 1,54,000
Let the original salary be x
The percentage increase is 10%
Therefore, Original salary + Increment in salary = New Salary
x + 10% of x = 154000
x + (10/100) × x = 154000
(110/100) × x = 154000
x = (154000 × 100) / 110
x = 140000

Answer:
Solution:
Let the original salary be Rs.100.
Therefore New salary i.e., 10% increase
= 100 + 10 = Rs.110
\because New salary is Rs.110, when original salary = Rs.100
\therefore New salary is Rs.1, when original salary = \frac{100}{110}
\therefore New salary is Rs.1,54,000, when original salary = \frac{100}{110}\times154000=Rs.\ 1,40,000
Hence original salary is Rs. 1,40,000.
