The monthly salary of A, B and C are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If C's monthly salary is Rs. 1,200 more than that of A, find B's monthly salary.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The correct choice is: “Rs. 1200”
Let the monthly salaries be 2x, 3x and 5x.
C − A = 5x − 2x = 3x = 1,200, so x = 400.
B's monthly salary = 3x = 3 × 400 = Rs. 1,200. (For reference, A earns Rs. 800 and C earns Rs. 2,000 a month; “Rs. 2000” is C's salary, not B's.)
