Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Since the salary increases by #36 after every 6 months

: 2 years and 8 months imply an increase of five times only:

36 * 5 →  #180

 His salary then = initial salary + increment

  = 540 + 180

  = #720

  Answer is C

There is an explanation video available below.
