Question

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

पर्याय

• ₹200

• ₹250

• ₹300

• None of these

Answer 1

₹250
Explanation:
Let the sum paid to Y per week be ₹ z.
Then, z + 120% of z = 550
⇒ `"z" + "z" 120/100 = 550`

⇒ `11/5"z" =550`

⇒ `"z" = ((550xx5)/11)=`  ₹ 250
