Question

$A$'s income is $25\%$ more than that of $B$. $B$'s income is $8\%$ more than that of $C$. If $A$'s income is Rs.$20250$, find the income of $C$.

• A. Rs. $15000$
• B. Rs. $20000$
• C. Rs. $2025$
• D. Rs. $3000$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Rs. $15000$

Let the income of $C$ be Rs. $x$

Income of $B$ $=x+8\%$ of $x$ $=\frac{108x}{100}$

Income of $A$ $=\frac{108x}{100}+25\%$ of $\frac{108x}{100}=$ Rs. $20250$

$\therefore$ $1.08x+$ $\frac{25}{100}\times \frac{108x}{100}$

Therefore, $x=15000$

Income of $C$ is Rs. $15000$.
