Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume Anil's salary is 'A', Bhuvan's salary is 'B', and Chandra's salary is 'C'.
  2. According to the problem, 2/5 of Anil's salary is equal to Bhuvan's salary. So, we can write this as: (2/5)A = B.
  3. Also, seven-ninth of Bhuvan’s salary is equal to Chandra’s salary. So, we can write this as: (7/9)B = C.
  4. The sum of all their salaries is Rs. 77,000. So, we can write this as: A + B + C = 77,000.

Now, we can substitute B and C from equations 2 and 3 into equation 4:

A + (2/5)A + (7/9)(2/5)A = 77,000 A[1 + (2/5) + (14/45)] = 77,000 A[(45 + 18 + 14)/45] = 77,000 A[77/45] = 77,000 A = 77,000 * (45/77) A = 45,000

Now, substitute A = 45,000 in equation 2 to find B: (2/5) * 45,000 = B B = 18,000

So, Bhuvan’s salary is Rs. 18,000.
