Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. 18% of the old salary = ₹4,500.

  2. Old salary = 450018×100=₹25,000\frac{4500}{18} \times 100 = ₹25{,}000.

  3. New salary = ₹25,000 + ₹4,500 = ₹29,500.

Worth noting

₹25,000 is the OLD salary — the question asks for the new one. ₹810 applies 18% to the raise itself.
