The answer is C.
A = C + x ; C = B + x ; E > A ; E > D
--> A > C ; C > B ; E > A ; E > D
Rank:
E
A
C
B
& D is somewhere below E, but not sure where.
Hence, it is clear that E has the highest salary.
A = C + x ; C = B + x ; E > A ; E > D
--> A > C ; C > B ; E > A ; E > D
Rank:
E
A
C
B
& D is somewhere below E, but not sure where.
Hence, it is clear that E has the highest salary.
