The ratio of the monthly salaries of A and B is in the ratio 15 : 16 and that of B and C is in the ratio 17 : 18. Find the monthly income of C if the total of their monthly salary is Rs 1,87,450. 

  • A) Rs 66,240
  • B) Rs 72,100
  • C) Rs 62,200
  • D) Rs 65,800
  • E) Rs 60,300
Solution

A) Rs 66,240
Explanation: 
A/B = 15/16 and B/C = 17*18
So A : B : C = 15*17 : 16*17 : 16*18
= 255 : 272 : 288
So C’s salary = [288/(255+272+288)] * 1,87,450

A) Rs 66,240
Explanation: 
A/B = 15/16 and B/C = 17*18
So A : B : C = 15*17 : 16*17 : 16*18
= 255 : 272 : 288
So C’s salary = [288/(255+272+288)] * 1,87,450
