Answer 1

Hint: Here, this question belongs to conversion topic that is we have to convert the currencies from one country to other country here we have to convert the currency of Saudi Arabia i.e., Saudi Riyal or Dirham and Sri Lankan currency i.e., Sri Lankan Rupee to the Indian rupee ( 1 Saudi Riyal or Dirham = 19.54 Indian Rupee and 1 Sri Lankan Rupee = 0.37 Indian Rupee ). Later by comparison we get the required result.

Complete step by step answer:
Saudi Riyal or Dirham is the currency name of the country Saudi Arabia and Sri Lankan Rupee is the currency name of Sri Lanka Country. Like this every country has a unique type of Currencies the same way India country has an Indian Rupee as a currency.
Presently, the value of currency is
 1 Saudi Riyal or Dirham = 19.54 Indian Rupee (i.e., 19 rupees 54 Paise) and
1 Sri Lankan Rupee = 0.37 Indian Rupee (i.e., 37 Paise)
Now by the given question
Majeed’s father gets salary of 1000 Saudi Riyal
Now we convert Majeed’s father salary from Saudi Riyal to Indian Rupee
\[ \Rightarrow \,\,1000 \times 19.54\]
\[ \Rightarrow \,\,19,540\] Indian Rupees
Therefore, salary of Majeed’s father is nineteen thousand five hundred and forty Rupees
Arun’s father who gets a salary of 2000 Sri Lankan Rupees.
Now, we convert Arun’s father salary from Sri Lankan Rupee to Indian Rupee
\[ \Rightarrow \,\,2000 \times 0.37\]
\[ \Rightarrow \,\,740\] Indian Rupees
Therefore, the salary of Arun’s father is Seven hundred and forty Rupees.
Thus, Majeed’s father gets more salary in Indian Rupees than Arun’s father.

Note: The currency of different countries will be different. We must know 1 Saudi Riyal or Dirham = 19.54 Indian Rupee and 1 Sri Lankan Rupee = 0.37 Indian Rupee, Then we compare the both the currencies. While simplifying the problem we use the simple mathematical operations.
