TD = (P × R × T)/100

160 = (1760 × 12 × T)/(100 × 12)

T = (160 × 100 × 12)/(1760 × 12)

Last year income ratio: A:B:C = 3:4:5 = 12:16:20

Last year : Current year income ratio:

A = 4:5

B = 2:3

C = 3:4

Current income ratio:

A:B:C = (12/4 × 5) : (16/2 × 3) : (20/3 × 4)

= 15 : 24 : 80/3

= 45 : 72 : 80

Total = 45 + 72 + 80 = 197 parts

A's current income = (45/197) × 98500

= 22500
