Calculation:

Let the salary of B is Rs. Q.

A's monthly salary = Q + Q × 20% = Rs. 1.2Q

C's monthly salary = Q + 25000

According to the question,

Q + 1.2Q + Q + 25000 = 265000

⇒ Q = 75,000

B's monthly salary = Rs. 75,000

C's monthly salary = (75000 + 25000) = Rs. 1,00,000

% = 75,000/1,00,000 × 100 = 75%

∴ The salary of B is 75% of that of C.
