Question

The salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 1:2:3. If the salary of B and C together is Rs.
5,000, by what percent is the salary of C greater than A?
200%
150%
300%
400%​

Answer 1

Answer:

Good question

Here is your solution

Part 1

Let salaries of A, B and C be x, 2x and 3x respectively

Salary of B and C together is 5000                                            (Given)

2x + 3x = 5000

5x = 5000

x = 1000

Thus,

Salary of A = 1000

Salary of B = 2000

Salary of C = 3000

Part 2

Salary of C - Salary of A = 2000

Percentage by which salary of C is higher is given by

(Salary of C - Salary of A) * 100 / Salary of A

2000*100/1000 = 200%

Answer 2

C's salary is $200\%$ greater than A's salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

• A ratio is a non-zero ordered pair of numbers a and b written as $\frac{a}{b}$. A percentage is a mathematical expression in which two ratios are specified to be equal.

• We have been provided with the ratio of salaries of A, B, and C as $1:2:3$ and the salary of B and C together is Rs. $5,000$

Let the salaries of A, B, and C be $x, 2x,$ and $3x$ respectively.

Then,

$2x+3x=6,000$

∴ $x=1,200$

A's salary is $1,200$, B's salary is $2,400$ and C's salary is $3,600$

∴ Excess of C's salary over A's salary: $(\frac{2,400}{1,200})\times100=200\%$

Hence, the answer is $200\%$
