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 new ratio of their salaries?

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let}}, \cr & A = 2k \cr & B = 3k\,{\text{and}} \cr & C\, = 5k \cr & A's\,{\text{new}}\,{\text{salary}} \cr & = \frac{{115}}{{100}}\,of\,2k = {\frac{{115}}{{100}} \times 2k} = \frac{{23k}}{{10}} \cr & B's\,{\text{new}}\,{\text{salary}} \cr & = \frac{{110}}{{100}}\,of\,3k = {\frac{{110}}{{100}} \times 3k} = \frac{{33k}}{{10}} \cr & C's\,{\text{new}}\,{\text{salary}} \cr & = \frac{{120}}{{100}}\,of\,5k = {\frac{{120}}{{100}} \times 5k} = 6k \cr & \therefore {\text{New}}\,{\text{ratio}} \cr & = {\frac{{23k}}{{10}}:\frac{{33k}}{{10}}:6k} \cr & = 23:33:60 \cr} $$
