Answer :

Let the original salary be 'x' and yearly increment be 'y'


After 4 years, his salary was Rs. 4500


x + 4y = 4500


x = 4500 - 4y eq.[1]


After 10 years, his salary becomes 5400


x + 10y = 5400


4500 - 4y + 10y = 5400


6y = 900


y = 150


Putting this in eq.[1],


x = 4500 - 4(150)


x = 4500 - 600 = 3900


Hence, his original salary was Rs. 3900 and increment per year was 150 Rs.
