The ratio of the monthly salaries of A and B is in the ratio 5 : 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 60,200

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. 66,240

$\frac{A}{B}=\frac{15}{16}and\frac{B}{C}=\frac{17}{18}SoA:B:C=15\times 17:16\times 17:16\times 18$
= 255 : 272 : 288
So C's salary = $\frac{288}{255+272+288}\times 187450=66,240$
