If the annual income of A, B and C are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 7 and the total annual income of A and C is Rs. 800000, then the monthly salary of B (in Rs. ) is = ?

Answer: Option B

	A	:	B	:	C
Annual Income	1	:	3	:	7
Let	x	:	3x	:	7x

Given A + C ⇒ x + 7x = 8x
⇒ 8x = 800000
⇒ x = 100000
⇒ Annual salary of B = 3x
⇒ 3 × 100000 = 300000
$$\begin{array}{rl}& \therefore \text{Monthly salary}\\ & \text{ = }\frac{300000}{12}\\ & =\text{Rs}.25000\end{array}$$
