Given:

Salary in March = ₹7,500

Monthly increase rate = 5%

Formula used:

Future Salary = Present Salary × (1 + Rate/100)n

Where, n = number of months

Calculations:

April Salary = 7500 × (1 + 5/100)

⇒ April Salary = 7500 × 1.05

⇒ April Salary = 7875

May Salary = April Salary × (1 + 5/100)

⇒ May Salary = 7875 × 1.05

⇒ May Salary = 8268.75

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
