Given:

Vikas's monthly salary is 20% more than Kausttav's monthly salary.

 Rahul's monthly salary is 25000 more than Kausttav's monthly salary.

 Their total monthly salary is 3,45000.

Calculation:

Let, Kausttav's monthly salary is 5x.

Then Vikas's monthly salary is 5x + 5x × \(\frac{1}{5}\) = 6x

So monthly salary of Rahul will be 5x + 25000

As per the question,

5x + 6x + 5x + 25000 = 3,45000

⇒ 16x = 3,20000

⇒ x = 20000

So the salary for kausttav is 20000 × 5 = Rs 100000

So the salary of Kausttav is Rs 100000
