D Correct answer
Explanation

Let salaries be 2x, 3x, 5x. Given 5x - 2x = 1200, so 3x = 1200, x = 400. B's salary is 3x = 3 * 400 = 1200.

AI explanation

The difference in ratio units between C and A is 5 minus 2, which equals 3 units. This 3 unit difference corresponds to the salary gap of Rs. 1200, making 1 ratio unit equal to Rs. 400. B's salary represents 3 units, so B's monthly salary is Rs. 1200.
