Salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio 1:2:3. If salaries of B and C together amount to Rs. 60000, by what percentage is salary of C more than that of A?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 200%

  1. Step 1: Ratio of salaries: A = x, B = 2x, C = 3x.
  2. Step 2: Difference between C and A = 3x - x = 2x.
  3. Step 3: Percentage excess over A = (2x / x) * 100% = 200%.
