A. Rs. 20000

B. Rs. 25000

C. Rs. 30000

D. Rs. 15000

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

  A : B : C
Annual Income   1 : 3 : 7
Let x   :   3x   :   7x

Given A + C ⇒ x + 7x = 8x
⇒ 8x = 800000
⇒ x = 100000
⇒ Annual salary of B = 3x
⇒ 3 × 100000 = 300000
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore {\text{Monthly salary}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{300000}}{{12}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}.\,25000 \cr} $$
