The salaries A, B, C are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If the increments of 15%, 10% and 20% are allowed respectively in their salaries, then what will be new ratio of their salaries?
3 : 3 : 10
10 : 11 : 20
23 : 33 : 60
Cannot be determined
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let A = 2k, B = 3k and C = 5k.

A's new salary = 115 of 2k = 115 x 2k = 23k
100 100 10

B's new salary = 110 of 3k = 110 x 3k = 33k
100 100 10

C's new salary = 120 of 5k = 120 x 5k = 6k
100 100

New ratio 23k : 33k : 6k = 23 : 33 : 60
10 10

Just let ratio 20:30:50 {easy to calculate}
Calculate increment = 15% of 20 is 3 so the new ratio is 20+3 = 23.
10% of 30 is 3 = 30+3 = 33,
20% of 50 is 10 = 50+10 = 60.
New ratio after increment = 23 : 33 : 60.

Here, the value of A, B and C is 2:3:5 respectively, and increments are 15%, 10% and 20% so for the new ratio,

(15/100*2 +2) : (10/100*3+3) : (20/100*5+5).

(3+20/10) : (3+30/10) : (5+1).

23/10:33/10:6.

23 :33 : 60.

@All.

A:B:C
2:3:5.

Increments are 15%, 10%, 20% Happen
So we have to find out their new salaries,
A= (2 * 0.15)=0.3 So add this in first ratio.
Then 2+0.3=2.3
Similarly B = (3 * 0.1)=0.3,
B = 3+0.3=3.3,
C =( 5 * 0.2)=1,
C = 5+1,
So the Ratios are now 2.3 : 3.3 : 6,
After multiplying with 100 in each;
= 23:33:60.

115/100*20:110/100*30:120/100*50.
= 23:33:60.

Here 2=20 and 3=30 and 5=50.

How 23/10:33/10:6 = 23:33:60?

115*2/10=23,
110*3/10=33,
120*5/10=60.

So, 23:33:60.

Can anyone tell me how you can solve 23k/10 : 33k/10 : 6x into 23k : 33k :6k?

Please explain.

@Abhinav Kumar.

Why the 10 and x gets cancelled in above question of Ratio and Proportion?
