a) 15 years
b) 20 years
c) 25 years
d) 30 years

Answer :

Final answer:

Bobby will take 11 years to reach the maximum of the pay scale. Therefore the correct option is A

Explanation:

To find how many years it will take for Bobby to reach the maximum of the pay scale, we need to calculate the number of increments between the starting pay and the maximum pay. The difference between the starting pay and the maximum pay is Rs. 12,500 - Rs. 7000 = Rs. 5500. Each increment is worth Rs. 500.

Therefore, the number of increments is Rs. 5500 / Rs. 500 = 11 increments. Since each increment represents one year, Bobby will take 11 years to reach the maximum of the pay scale.

So the correct answer is a) 15 years.
