If the salaries of A,B,C are in the ratio of 4:5:6. If the increments of 20%,25% and 30% are allowed respectively in their salaries, then what will be the new ratio of their salaries?

Options
- 20:21:22
- 25:24:26
- 24:25:26
- 26:25:24

Wrong Question/Answer

Given ratio of salaries:
A:B:C = 4:5:6

Distributing the salaries:
A=4x, B=5x, C=6x
Total of salaries = 4x + 5x + 6x = 15x


New salaries after increment:
A = 4x + (20% of 4x) = 4x + (1/5)×4x = 24x/5

Similarly, B = 25x/4, C = 39x/5

Thus, new ratio of the salaries:
A:B:C = (24x/5):(25x/4):(39x/5)

Now, LCM(5,4,5) = 20

Thus, we multiply by 20 in each term of the ratio to get:

A:B:C = 96x:125x:156x

Or, A:B:C = 96:125:156

Which is not an option here. Hence, the question is incorrect.

Answer

A’s new salary= 120/100 x 4k = 24k/5
B’s new salary= 125/100 x 5k = 25k/4
C’s new salary= 130/100 x 6k = 39k/5

24k/5 : 25k/4 : 39k/5
= 96 : 125 : 156

Ratio is 4:5:6
So, 96/4 : 125/5 : 156/6
= 24: 25: 26
