Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Present salary = N24,000.
Increment after first year = \(\frac{10}{100} \times N24,000 = N2,400\)
Salary at the beginning of second year = N(24,000 + 2,400)
= N26,400.
Increment after second year = \(\frac{10}{100} \times N26,400 = N2,640\)
Salary at the beginning of third year = N(26,400 + 2,640)
= N29,040.
\(\therefore\) His salary at the beginning of the third year = N29,040.
