Let initial salary of Shahid was X and (Kareena was 28000-X).
Increased salary of Shahid = X + 25% of X = 1.25X
Increased Salary of Kareena = (28000 - X) + 12.5% of (28000 - X)
Increased Salary of Kareena = (28000 - X) + 3500 - 0.125X = (31500 - 1.125X)
New Salary of Kareena = 120% of 1.25X
31500 - 1.125X = 1.50X
1.50X + 1.125X = 31500
2.475X = 31500
X = 12000 (Aprrox)
Initial salary of Shahid = 12000.
