Question 128

If A's salary is Rs. 10,000 less than B's salary, B's salary is 15,000 less than C's salary and the sum of A, B and C's salary Is Rs. 65,000, find the salary of A.

Solution

Let C's salary = $$Rs.$$ $$x$$

=> B's salary = $$Rs.$$ $$(x-15,000)$$

and A's salary = $$Rs.$$ $$(x-15,000-10,000)$$ = $$Rs.$$ $$(x-25,000)$$

Sum of A, B and C's salary = Rs. 65,000

=> $$(x)+(x-15,000)+(x-25,000)=65,000$$

=> $$3x-40,000=65,000$$

=> $$3x=65,000+40,000=1,05,000$$

=> $$x=\frac{1,05,000}{3}=35,000$$

$$\therefore$$ A's salary = $$(x-25,000)=35,000-25,000 = Rs.$$ $$10,000$$

=> Ans - (A)
