Solution(By Examveda Team)
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 300) = 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 : 460 = 21 : 66 : 92Join The Discussion
