The salary of X is 80% more than Y while the salary of Z is 25% less than the total salary of X and Y together then find what is the salary of Z if Y's salary is Rs. 45000?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Given:

Y's salary = ₹45,000

X's salary = 45,000 + 80% of 45,000

= 45,000 + 36,000

= ₹81,000

Total salary of X and Y = 81,000 + 45,000 = ₹1,26,000

Z's salary = 75% of 1,26,000

= 1,26,000 × 75/100

= ₹94,500
