Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the salaries of A\displaystyle A, B\displaystyle B, and C\displaystyle C be 2x\displaystyle 2x, 3x\displaystyle 3x, and 5x\displaystyle 5x respectively.
After receiving increments of 15%\displaystyle 15\%, 10%\displaystyle 10\%, and 20%\displaystyle 20\%, their new salaries are:
- New salary of A=2x+15% of 2x=2x×1.15=2.3x\displaystyle A = 2x + 15\% \text{ of } 2x = 2x \times 1.15 = 2.3x
- New salary of B=3x+10% of 3x=3x×1.10=3.3x\displaystyle B = 3x + 10\% \text{ of } 3x = 3x \times 1.10 = 3.3x
- New salary of C=5x+20% of 5x=5x×1.20=6x\displaystyle C = 5x + 20\% \text{ of } 5x = 5x \times 1.20 = 6x
The new ratio of their salaries is:
2.3x:3.3x:6x=23:33:602.3x : 3.3x : 6x = 23 : 33 : 60
