(B) Let the salaries of Ram and Shyam last year be $3x$ and $5x$ respectively.Ram's salary ratio (last year : present year) $= 2:3$. Thus,Ram's present salary $= 3x 	imes (3/2) = 4.5x$.Shyam's salary ratio (last year : present year) $= 4:5$. Thus,Shyam's present salary $= 5x 	imes (5/4) = 6.25x$.The total present salary is $4.5x + 6.25x = 10.75x$.Given $10.75x = 8600$,we find $x = 8600 / 10.75 = 800$.Ram's present salary $= 4.5 	imes 800 = Rs. 3600$.

One year ago,the ratio between Ram's and Shyam's salaries was $3:5$. The ratios of their individual salaries of last year to the present year are $2:3$ and $4:5$ respectively. If their total salary for the present year is $Rs. 8600$,find the present salary of Ram (in $Rs.$)?
