Explanation:

Correct option 4: Rs1,40,000

Ratio of A's and B's salary = 6:7 A's salary increased by 5%
Calculation
Let A's salary = 6x and B's salary = 7x
A's salary increased by 5.5% or 11/2% = 6x * (11/2)%
= 3x x (11/100)
= 3x x0.11
⇒ 0.33x
According to question
6x + 0.33x = 126600
⇒ 6.33x = 126600
⇒x= 20,000
B's salary = 7 x 20,000
⇒ Rs. 1,40,000
B's salary is RS.1,40,000
