• Let the salaries of A,B,C be x ,2x, 3x,
  Then, 2x + 3x = 6000.
  => x = 1200.
  =>A's salary = 1200.
  B's salary = 2400.
  C's salary = 3600.
  Excess of C's salary over A's = (3600-1200)/1200 x 100 = 200% more than A's salary.
  300 % denotes the salary of C is 300% of A and Question is about how much more.

• let the salaries of A,B,C be x ,2x, 3x, then 2x+3x=6000
  =>x=1200
  =>As salary=1200, Bs salaries=2400 , Cs salaries= 3600.
  Excess of Cs salaries over As=(3600/1200)x 100 = 300%

• directly given ratio of A & C is 1:3
  that means their difference of salary in percentage will be 300%.

• "more than" so solution is not "times more ie 300% "
  but "more than"
  so difference of two ie
  (3x-x)/x ( below is x because than of a if than of c the divided by 3x
  but for now ans--->200%

• B:C = 2:3 Then 5 (2+3)= 6000
  1 = 1200
  then A=1200
  and C = 3600
  then ans is 200% more C to A.
  So ans is d.
