Question

Two tailors X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 550 per week by their employer. If X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week?

पर्याय

• Rs. 200

• Rs. 250

• Rs. 300

• None of these

Answer 1

Rs. 250

Explanation:

Let the sum paid to Y per week be Rs. z.

Then, z + 120% of z = 550.

⇒ `z + 120/100 z` = 550

⇒ `11/5 z` = 550

⇒ z = `((550 xx 5)/11)` = 250.
