Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 13 ∶ 18 ∶ 22.

Given that

The salaries of A, B, and C are in ratio 2 ∶ 3 ∶ 4.

If increments of 30%, 20,% and 10% are allowed, respectively, in their salaries

Let the salary of A, B, and C be 2x, 3x, and 4x respectively

According to the question,

Now, the new salary of A = 1.3 × 2x = 2.6x

The new salary of B = 1.2 × 3x = 3.6x

The new salary of C = 1.1 × 4x = 4.4x

Hence, the new ratio of their salary of A, B, and C = 2.6 : 3.6 : 4.4 = 13 : 18 : 22
