Let the starting salary of the man be Rs. x and the fixed annual increment be Rs.y.
Then,
Salary after 4 years of service = Rs. (x + 4y)
Salary after 10 years of service = Rs. (x + 10y)
As per given condition
After four years salary was Rs.1500
  x + 4y =1500 .............. (i)
And Rs.1800 after 10 years of service.
So, x + 10y = 1800 .............. (ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get
(x + 10y) -  (x + 4y) = 1800 - 1500
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} x + 10y - x - 4y = 300
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 6y = 300
 {tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} y =50
Putting y = 50 in equation (i), we get
x + 4(50) = 1500
x = 1300.
Hence the starting salary was Rs. 1300 and annual increment is Rs.50.
