Answer : Option C

Explanation :

Let A = 2k, B = 3k and C = 5k.

A's new salary = $\frac { 11 5} { 100 }$ of 2k = [ $\frac { 11 5} { 100 }$ x 2k] = $\frac { 23k } { 10 }$

B's new salary = $\frac { 11 0} { 100 }$ of 3k = [ $\frac { 11 0} { 100 }$ x 3k ] = $\frac { 33k } { 10 }$

C's new salary = $\frac { 12 0} { 100 }$ of 5k =[ $\frac { 12 0} { 100 }$ x 5k] = 6k

New ratio[ $\frac { 23k } { 10 }$ : $\frac { 33k } { 10 }$ :6k] = 23:33;60
