Solution
Let C's salary = $Rs.$ $x$
=> B's salary = $Rs.$ $(x-15,000)$
and A's salary = $Rs.$ $(x-15,000-10,000)$ = $Rs.$ $(x-25,000)$
Sum of A, B and C's salary = Rs. 65,000
=> $(x)+(x-15,000)+(x-25,000)=65,000$
=> $3x-40,000=65,000$
=> $3x=65,000+40,000=1,05,000$
=> $x=\frac{1,05,000}{3}=35,000$
$\therefore$ A's salary = $(x-25,000)=35,000-25,000 = Rs.$ $10,000$
=> Ans - (A)
