5. None of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 119 : 128

Given:

Salary of A = 14.28% more than salary of B

Salary of C = 6.25% more than salary of B

Calculations:

Let salary of A, B and C be x, y, z respectively.

x = y + 14.28% of y

⇒ y + (1/7) of y

⇒ 8y/7

z = y + 6.25% of y

⇒ y + (1/16) of y

⇒ 17y/16

x : z = (8y/7) : (17y/16)

⇒ 128 : 119

∴ Ratio of salary of C and A is 119 : 128
