Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 11(1/9)%.
Given:
A's monthly salary is 20% more than B's monthly salary.
C's monthly salary is ₹ 25,000 more than B's monthly salary.
Their total monthly salary is ₹ 2,65,000
Calculations:
Let the salary of B be x
Salary of A = 1.2x
Salary of C = x + 25000
Now, according to the question;
⇒ x + 1.2x + x + 25000 = 265000
⇒ 3.2x = 240000
⇒ x = 75000
Salary of A = 1.2 × 75000 = 90000
Salary of C = 75000 + 25000 = 100000
Required percentage = [(100000 - 90000)/90000] × 100
⇒ 11(1/9)%
