B Correct answer
Explanation

Let the salaries be x, 2x, and 3x. Given 3x - x = 1200, so 2x = 1200 and x = 600. B's monthly salary is 2x = 1200, so his annual salary is 1200 * 12 = 14400.

AI explanation

Let the monthly salaries of A, B, and C be x, 2x, and 3x respectively; the difference between C's and A's salary is 3x minus x, which equals 2x. Since this difference is Rs. 1,200, we have 2x = 1,200, meaning x = 600. B's monthly salary is 2x, which equals Rs. 1,200; to find B's annual salary, multiply by 12 to get Rs. 14,400.
