A Correct answer
Explanation

Salaries are 2x, 3x, 5x. C - A = 5x - 2x = 3x = 1200, so x = 400. B's monthly salary = 3x = 1200. B's annual salary = 1200 * 12 = 14400.

AI explanation

Let the monthly salaries of A, B, and C be 2x, 3x, and 5x. Since C's salary is Rs. 1200 more than A's, we write 5x minus 2x equals 1200. Solving this gives 3x equals 1200, so x equals 400. B's monthly salary is 3x, which is Rs. 1200, and multiplying by 12 months gives an annual salary of Rs. 14,400.
