One year ago the ratio between Laxman's and Gopal's salary was 3 : 4. The ratio of their individual salaries between last year's and this year's salaries are 4 : 5 and 2 : 3 respectively. At present the total of their salary is Rs. 4,160. The salary of Laxman now is?
Correct Answer: Rs. 1600

x2 + y2 = 4160 .....(2) From equations (1) and (2)
x2 = Rs. 1600.
