Given the ratio of salaries A:B:C = 1:2:3, let A = x. Then B = 2x and C = 3x. Since B + C = 60000, 2x + 3x = 5x = 60000, so x = 12000. Salary of A = 12000, Salary of C = 36000. The percentage by which C is more than A is ((36000 - 12000) / 12000) * 100 = 200%.

The price increases by 32%, so the new price is 132% of the original. The expenditure increases by 10%, so new expenditure is 110% of the original. Let the new consumption be x kg. Then, 1.32 × x = 1.10 × 10 kg, so x = (1.10 × 10) / 1.32 ≈ 8.33 kg. Hence, option B is correct.
