The salaries of A, B and C are in the ratio 1:3:4. If the salaries are increased by 5%, 10% and 15% respectively, then the increased salaries will be in the ratio

  • 120:66:95
  • 221:66:96
  • 321:66:92
  • 419:66:92
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Let A's Salary = Rs. 100
Then, B's Salary = Rs. 300
And, C's Salary = Rs 400
Salary has given in 1:3:4 ratio.
Now,
5% increase in A's Salary,
A's new Salary = (100 + 5% of 100) = Rs. 105.
B's Salary increases by 10%, Then,
B's new Salary = (300 + 10% of 200) = Rs. 330.
C's Salary increases by 15%,
C's new Salary = (400 + 15% of 400) = Rs. 460.
Then, ratio of increased Salary,
A:B:C = 105:330:460 = 21:66:92.

Alternative
100(A's salary)===5%↑===> 105(A's increased salary);
300 (B's salary)===10%↑===>330 (B's increased salary);
400 (C's salary)===15%↑===> 460 (C's increased salary).
Ratio of their increased salary = 105:330:480 = 21:66:92
