Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Rs. 27,000
Explanation:
Their savings are 20%, 15% and 25% of A, B and C respectively (since they spend 80%, 85% and 75%).
Let the savings be 8x, 9x and 20x according to the given ratio 8:9:20.
Then A's salary = 8x ÷ 0.20 = 40x; B's salary = 9x ÷ 0.15 = 60x; C's salary = 20x ÷ 0.25 = 80x.
Total salaries = 40x + 60x + 80x = 180x = 81,000, so x = 81,000 ÷ 180 = 450.
B's salary = 60x = 60 × 450 = 27,000.
