Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 12.5%.
Given that
The salaries of A, B, and C are in ratio of : : .
= 45 : 36 : 40
According to the question;
⇒ 45x + 36x = 40500
⇒ 81x = 40500
⇒ x = 40500/81 = 500
The salary of A, B, and C = 45 × 500, 36 × 500, and 40 × 500
A= 22500 and C = 20000
Salary of A more than that of C = 2500
Hence, the required percent = [2500/20000] × 100 = 12.5%
