A’s and B’s salaries are respectively 40% and 70% rupees more than C’s salary. What is the ratio of B’s salary to A’s salary?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 17 : 14.

A’s salary = 40% more than C, B’s salary = 70% more than C

Let C = 100

A = 100 + 40 = 140

B = 100 + 70 = 170

Ratio B : A = 170 : 140 = 17 : 14
