Question:

Two times of A's salary is five times of B's salary and four times of B's salary is twice C’s salary. What is A's salary if C’s salary is ₹1,600?

Options:

₹2,000

₹2,500

₹2,600

₹3,000

Correct Answer:

₹2,000

Explanation:

A : B = 5 : 2,

B : C = 2 : 4,

So, A : B : C = 5 : 2 : 4

⇒ C = Rs. 1600

⇒ 4 units = 1600

⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 400

⇒ A's salary = 5 x 400 = Rs. 2000.
