Question:

Two employees X and Y are paid a total of ₹ 4500 per week by their employer. If X is paid 125 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week ? 

Options:

₹ 1000

₹ 2000

₹ 3000

₹ 4000

Correct Answer:

₹ 2000

Explanation:

125% = \(\frac{125}{100}\)

ATQ,

X  :  Y = 125  :  100 ⇒ 5  :  4 = 9R (Total)

9R = 4500

1R = 500

Y paid = 4R = 4 × 500 = 2000/-
