Correct answer: C
Answer: Rs. 7110
Key idea: express all salaries in terms of one variable using the given ratios and solve for that variable.
Let Aravamudhan = 4x and Balakrishnan = 3x (from Aravamudhan:Balakrishnan = 4:3).
From Balakrishnan:Chinnan = 4:3 we have 3x : C = 4 : 3, so Chinnan = 9x/4.
Total salary = 4x + 3x + 9x/4 = 37x/4, and this equals 29230. So 37x/4 = 29230 ⇒ x = (4×29230)/37 = 3160.
Chinnan = 9x/4 = 9×3160/4 = 7110.
Check: 4×3160 + 3×3160 + 7110 = 12640 + 9480 + 7110 = 29230, so the result is consistent.
Therefore Chinnan’s salary = Rs. 7110.
