Rs. 265.6

Given, ratio of salary of Oct : Nov = 9 : 8 and Nov : Dec = 3 : 4
So, ratio of salary of Oct : Nov : Dec = (9*3) : (8*3) : (4*8) = 27 : 24 : 32
Let salary for Oct, Nov & Dec be 27x, 24x & 32x
Then, 32x - 27x = 40 => x=8
So, the salaries of Oct, Nov & Dec are Rs 216, Rs 192 & Rs 256 respectively.
Therefore, amount of bonus=(40/100)*(216+192+256)=Rs. 265.6
