Explanation

Let savings be 8x, 9x, 20x. If A saves 20% and B saves 15% and C saves 25%, then salaries are 8x/0.20 + 9x/0.15 + 20x/0.25 = 40x + 60x + 80x = 180x = 36000, so x = 200. C's salary = 20x/0.25 = 80x = 80 × 200 = Rs.16000. Set up equations using the savings ratio and spending percentages to find individual salaries.
