Q.

The salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. The salary of B and C together is Rs. 6000. By what percent is the salary of C more than that of A?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Let the salaries of A, B, C be x, 2x and 3x respectively. Then,2x + 3x = 6000 => x = 1200. A's salary = Rs. 1200, B's salary = Rs. 2400, and Cs salary Rs. 3600. Excess of C's salary over A's=[ (2400 /1200) x 100] = 200%.
