Answer:C
The wages A, B, and C are in the 2:3:5 ratio. What will be the new ratio of their wages if increments of 15%, 10%, and 20% are permitted in their incomes?
A. 3 : 3 : 10 B. 10 : 11 : 20 C. 23 : 33 : 60 D. Cannot be determined
Explanation: Let A equal 2k, B equal 3k, and C equal 5k.A's new pay is 115/100 of 2k, which is 15/100x 2k = 23k/10.B's new pay is 110/100 of 3000 = 110/100 x 3000 = 33000/10000.C's new pay is 120/100 of $5,000 = 120/100x $5,000 = $6,000.New ratio: 23 k/10 : 33 k/10 : 6 k = 23 k/10 : 33 k/10 : 60 k/10 : 60 k/10 : 60 k/10 : 60.
