-
- 3 : 3 : 10
- 23 : 33 : 60
- 20 : 22 : 40
- None of these
Correct Option: B
Ratio of salaries
Akash : Babloo : Cintu 2 : 3 : 5
Let the common ratio be 'k'
Then, salaries of Akash, Babloo and chintu will be 2k, 3k and 5k, respectively.
Now, 15% increase in Akash's salary = 15% of 2k
= 15 x 2k/100 = 0.3k
New salary = 2k + 0.3k = 2.3k
Also, 10% increase in Babloo's salary = 10% of 3k
= 10 x 3k/100 = 0.3k
∴ New salary = 3k + 0.3k = 3.3k
Again, 20%increase in Chintu's salary = 20% of 5k
= 20 x 5k/100 = 1k
New salary = 5k + k = 6k
∴ New ratio = Ratio of new salaries = 2.3k : 3.3k : 6k
On multiplying with 10 and dividing by k ratio will be 23 : 33 : 60.
