Detailed Solution

Given a man with certain monthly salary, his salary will be Rs. 11000 after 2 years and Rs. 14000 after 4 years of his service.
Let starting salary =x
Increment every year =y
x+2y=11,000...........(1)
x+4y=14,000...........(2)
Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2),
x+4y-x-2y=14,000-11,000
2y=3,000 y=1500 Substitute y=1500 in equation (1), we get,
x+2×1500=11,000
x=11,000-3,000 x=8,000 Thus, starting salary =8,000 and increment =1500.
Therefore, option (3) is correct.
