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.
