50.

52. Let total number of employees

in beginning = 8k and total number of employees in present =
7k
Let salary of an employee in
beginning = 5l and salary of an
employee in present = 6l
Total salary in beginning
= 8 k 5l = 40 kl
and total salary in present
= 7k 6l = 42 kl
Required ratio
= 40kl : 42kl = 20 : 21
Clearly, salary is increased.

51. Let the number be x
According to question,
x = (5k + 3)
on squaring both sides, we get
x2 = (5k + 3)2
= (25 k2 + 30 k + 9)
= 5 (5 k2 + 6 k + 1) + 4
The remainder is 4.
