	B.	Rs 1,44,000
	C.	Rs 1,32,000
	D.	Rs 1,52,400

Answer – (D)
Solution:
Raj's salary as on 1 jan 1991 is Rs 400 per month
His increment in his month salary is Rs 40 per annum
His total salary from 1 jan 1991 to 31st dec 2000
i.e. in ten years => 12[2(400)+(10−1)40]*(102)= Rs. 69,600
Ramu's salary as on Jan 1st 1991 is Rs 550 and his half yearly increment in his month salary is Rs 20.
His total salary from 1 jan 1991 to dec 31, 2000
=> 6[2(500)+(20−1)20]*(202)= Rs. 82,800
Total salary of Raj and Ramu in the ten year period:
= Rs. 69600+ Rs. 82800
=> Rs 1,52,400
