The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and perform the necessary calculations. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratios The salaries of Peons, Clericals, and Managers are given in the ratio of 1:2:3. We can represent their salaries as: - Peons = x - Clericals = 2x - Managers = 3x ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation According to the problem, the combined salary of Clericals and Managers is Rs. 60,000. Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ 2x + 3x = 60,000 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Equation Combine the terms on the left side: \[ 5x = 60,000 \] ### Step 4: Solve for x To find the value of x, divide both sides of the equation by 5: \[ x = \frac{60,000}{5} = 12,000 \] ### Step 5: Calculate Individual Salaries Now that we have the value of x, we can calculate the individual salaries: - Salary of Peons = x = Rs. 12,000 - Salary of Clericals = 2x = 2 × 12,000 = Rs. 24,000 - Salary of Managers = 3x = 3 × 12,000 = Rs. 36,000 ### Step 6: Find the Difference in Salaries Next, we need to find out how much more the salary of Managers is than that of Peons: Difference = Salary of Managers - Salary of Peons \[ = 36,000 - 12,000 = 24,000 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Percentage Increase To find out by what percent the salary of Managers is more than that of Peons, we use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Salary of Peons}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values: \[ = \left( \frac{24,000}{12,000} \right) \times 100 = 2 \times 100 = 200\% \] ### Final Answer The salary of Managers is 200% more than that of Peons. ---
