Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Compute savings for each employee:
Income ratios: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3.
Expense ratios: A = 3, B = 2, C = 1.
Savings = Income − Expense. Compute proportional savings:
A: 1 − 3 = −2
B: 2 − 2 = 0
C: 3 − 1 = 2
Therefore, from smallest to largest savings: A (−2), B (0), C (2).
The increasing order is A < B < C.
Note: None of the provided options show A < B < C. The option that lists C > B > A gives the reverse (largest-to-smallest) order and therefore does not answer the question as asked.
