Correct Answer: 23 : 33 : 60
Solution : Salary of father = $2x$ Salary of mother = $3x$ Salary of daughter = $5x$ There is an increase in the salary, 15%, 10%, and 20% respectively, Now, Salary of father $=2x + \frac{15\times 2x}{100} = \frac{230x}{100}$ Salary of mother $= 3x+\frac{10\times 3x}{100} = \frac{330x}{100}$ Salary of daughter $=5x+\frac{20\times5x}{100} = \frac{600x}{100}$ So, the required ratio = 230 : 330 : 600 = 23 : 33 : 60 Hence, the correct answer is 23 : 33 : 60.
