Salary of Mr. X is 80% of the salary of Mr. Y and the salary of Mr. Z is 120% of the salary of Mr. X. What is the ratio between the salaries if X,Y and Z respectively?

A ) 20:25:24 ✅

B ) 20:24:25

C ) 4:5:6

D ) 20:25:30


Explanation:

We are given:

  • Salary of Mr. X = 80% of Mr. Y
  • Salary of Mr. Z = 120% of Mr. X

Let’s solve this step by step.

✅ Step 1: Let salary of Mr. Y = 100 (assume for simplicity)

Then:

  • Mr. X = 80% of 100 = 80
  • Mr. Z = 120% of Mr. X = 120% of 80 =

                                120/100×80=96

Z=96

✅ Step 2: Salaries of X, Y, Z

  • X = 80
  • Y = 100
  • Z = 96

✅ Step 3: Write ratio X : Y : Z

X : Y : Z = 80 : 100 : 96

Now simplify by dividing all by4 

20 : 25 : 24

✅ Final Answer:

20:25:24

This is the ratio of salaries of X : Y : Z respectively.
