B) Rs. 25,000
C) Rs. 30,000
D) Rs. 35,000
E) Rs. 40,000
EXPLANATION:   Assume original salaries of Ram and Sham as 4x and 5x respectively.   Therefore,   (4x + 5000)/(5x +5000)	=	50 /60   60 (4x + 5000) = 50 (5x + 5000)   10 x = 50,000   5x = 25, 000   Sham's present salary = 5x + 5000 = 25,000 + 5000   Sham's present salary = Rs. 30,000   ANSWER IS Rs. 30,000
