The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Salaries Let the salaries of Akash, Bablu, and Chintu be represented as: - Akash's salary = 2k - Bablu's salary = 3k - Chintu's salary = 5k ### Step 2: Calculate the Increased Salaries Next, we will calculate the new salaries after the respective increases: - Akash's salary increase by 15%: \[ \text{New Salary of Akash} = 2k + 0.15 \times 2k = 2k \times \frac{115}{100} = \frac{230k}{100} = \frac{23k}{10} \] - Bablu's salary increase by 10%: \[ \text{New Salary of Bablu} = 3k + 0.10 \times 3k = 3k \times \frac{110}{100} = \frac{330k}{100} = \frac{33k}{10} \] - Chintu's salary increase by 20%: \[ \text{New Salary of Chintu} = 5k + 0.20 \times 5k = 5k \times \frac{120}{100} = \frac{600k}{100} = \frac{60k}{10} \] ### Step 3: Write the New Salaries Now we have the new salaries: - New Salary of Akash = \(\frac{23k}{10}\) - New Salary of Bablu = \(\frac{33k}{10}\) - New Salary of Chintu = \(\frac{60k}{10}\) ### Step 4: Form the New Ratio To find the new ratio of their salaries, we will write it as: \[ \text{New Ratio} = \frac{\frac{23k}{10}}{\frac{33k}{10}} : \frac{\frac{33k}{10}}{\frac{60k}{10}} : \frac{\frac{60k}{10}}{\frac{60k}{10}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \text{New Ratio} = 23 : 33 : 60 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Ratio To simplify the ratio \(23 : 33 : 60\), we check for common factors. Since there are no common factors among 23, 33, and 60, the ratio remains: \[ \text{Final New Ratio} = 23 : 33 : 60 \] ### Conclusion The new ratio of their salaries after the respective increases is \(23 : 33 : 60\). ---
