A earns 50% of B's salary, B earns 80% of C's salary. If the total earnings for a month is Rs. 22000, then what is the earning for A ?

Correct Answer: Rs. 4000

Explanation:

Let C's salary be Rs. x


Then B's salary = 80x/100


=> A's salary = (50/100) * (80x/100) = 40x/100


But given total earnings in a month = 22000


=> x + 80x/100 + 40x/100 = 22000


=> x + 120x/100 = 22000


=> x = 10000


=> A's salary = 40 x 10000/100 = Rs. 4000
