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, then what will be the new ratio of their salaries?
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
