Question

Aditya's salary is $125$% of Ram's salary. Sanjay's salary is $80$% of Ram's salary. If the total of all the three salaries is Rs. $61000$. What is Sanjay's salary?

• A. $10000$
• B. $12000$
• C. $15000$
• D. $16000$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $16000$

Let Ram's salary be Rs. x

$\therefore$ Aditya's salary$=\frac{125}{100}x$

$\therefore$ Sanjay's salary$=\frac{80}{100}x$

Total of all $3$ salaries$=61000$

$x+\frac{125x}{100}+\frac{80x}{100}=61000$

$\left(\frac{100+125+80}{100}\right)x=61000$

$\left(\frac{305}{100}\right)x=61000$

$x=20000$

Sanjay's salary$=\frac{80}{100}\times 20000$

$=16000$Rs.
