Question

The salaries A, B, C are in the ratio 2:3:5. If the increments of 15%, 10%, and 20% are allowed respectively in their salaries, then what will be the new ratio of their salaries?

a. 23:33:65
b. 20:30:50
c. 22:33:60
d. 21:32:61

Answer 1

The new ratio of their salaries after the given increments is 23:33:60.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new ratio of their salaries, we need to calculate the new salaries for A, B, and C after the given increments.

Let's assume the original salaries for A, B, and C are 2x, 3x, and 5x respectively.

After the 15% increment, the new salary for A would be 2x + 0.15(2x) = 2.3x.

After the 10% increment, the new salary for B would be 3x + 0.10(3x) = 3.3x.

After the 20% increment, the new salary for C would be 5x + 0.20(5x) = 6x.

The new ratio of their salaries would be 2.3x : 3.3x : 6x, which simplifies to 23 : 33 : 60.
