Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume the initial salaries of Raju and Peter are 3x and 5x respectively.

  2. After the increase of Rs. 2,500 each, their salaries become (3x+2500) and (5x+2500) respectively.

  3. According to the problem, the ratio of their salaries after the increase is 11:15. So, we can write the equation as (3x+2500)/(5x+2500) = 11/15.

  4. Solving this equation, we get x = 500.

  5. Therefore, the initial salary of Peter is 5x = 5*500 = Rs. 2,500.

  6. After the increase of Rs. 2,500, Peter's salary becomes 2500 + 2500 = Rs. 5,000.

So, the correct answer is Rs.5,000.
