Question:

Two craftsmen, A and B, are paid a total of ₹700 per week by their employer. If A is paid 250% of the sum paid to B, how much is A paid per week?

Options:

₹300

₹200

₹500

₹450

Correct Answer:

₹500

Explanation:

250% = \(\frac{250}{100}\) = \(\frac{5}{2}\)

So , Ratio of A and B  =  5 : 2

Now ,

7R = 700

1R = 100

5R = 500

So , Amount paid to A = 500
