Question

A's salary is 15% more than B's salary and B's salary is 20% more than C's salary. If A's salary is Rs.13800, then what is C's salary.

• A. Rs.10000
• B. Rs.100000
• C. Rs.11000
• D. Rs.12000

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs.10000

Let c's salary be $Rsx$

Then B's salary $=20$% of $x+x=Rs.\frac{6x}{5}$

And then A's salary $=15$% of $\frac{6x}{5}+\frac{6x}{5}=Rs.\frac{69x}{50}$

Then according to the question $\frac{69x}{50}=13800$

$x=Rs.10000$

Hence C's salary $=Rs.10000$
