Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: Let's assume the initial salaries of Virat and Sachin are 2x and 3x respectively.

Step 2: According to the problem, each of their salaries is increased by Rs. 7000. So, the new salaries are (2x + 7000) for Virat and (3x + 7000) for Sachin.

Step 3: It's given that the new ratio of their salaries is 11:13. So, we can write the equation as (2x + 7000) / (3x + 7000) = 11 / 13.

Step 4: Cross-multiplying to solve the equation, we get 26x + 91000 = 33x + 77000.

Step 5: Simplifying the equation, we get 7x = 14000.

Step 6: Solving for x, we get x = 2000.

Step 7: Substituting x = 2000 in 3x (Sachin's salary), we get Sachin's salary = 3*2000 = Rs. 6000.
