As mentioned in the question Amit's salary is 25% more than pawan , and pawan's salary is 15% more than rashid.
Let pawan's salary = x
Amit's salary = x + 25% of x
= x + 25x/100
= 125x/100
Rash/id's salary = x - 15% of x
= x - 15x/100
= 85x/100
Their salary are in the ratio of,
Amit : pawan : rashid = 125x/100 : x : 85x/100
Amit : pawan : rashid = 125x : 100x : 85x = 25 : 20 : 17
25 + 20 + 17 = 62
Now amit's salary = 12500
That is amit's salary is 25/62 part of total salary
Let total salary be x
25x/62 = 12500
x = 12500 * 62/25
= 31000
Total salary is 31000
Now rashid's salary = 17/62 * 31000
= 17 * 500
= 8500
Hence rashid's salary is 8500.
