Ratio is the relation among two or more numbers, which tells that how much one number is bigger than the others. To solve the questions based on ratio, we use assume a variable for the shared part among quantities.
Explanation:-
Suppose, that the daily income of three persons A, B and C is 2x, 5x and 11x.
Given that the income of B is Rs. 291 more than that of A. So,
⇒ 5x = 2x + 291
⇒ 5x - 2x = 291
⇒ 3x = 291
⇒ x = 97
Now, the income of C,
⇒ 11x = 11 × 97
⇒ 11x = Rs. 1067
So, the income of C is Rs. 1,067.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
