Easy method:
Salary be x.
Total expenditure is 20%+60%+10% = 90%.
Remaining 10%,
10% of x = 30rs,
10x = 3000,
X = 300rs,
Salary is 300rs.
Salary be x.
Total expenditure is 20%+60%+10% = 90%.
Remaining 10%,
10% of x = 30rs,
10x = 3000,
X = 300rs,
Salary is 300rs.

@Aparna.
You are 100% wrong. Because you should take 60% of 100Rs, not 60% out of 80.
Take the % out of 100Rs, not out of remaining cost.

We use the formula 262500 = 175000(1+ R/100)^n.
Where n = 10, and the value of R turns out to be 4.138 which is 4.138%. So none of these is the answer.

May be it is:
a-0.25 x = c.
b-0.20 x = c.
a-0.25 x = b-0.20 x.
a-0.45 x = b.
a is 45% greater than b.
a-0.25 x = c.
b-0.20 x = c.
a-0.25 x = b-0.20 x.
a-0.45 x = b.
a is 45% greater than b.
