Question:

Two tailors X and Y are paid a total 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?

 

Options:

Rs. 200

Rs. 250

Rs. 300

None of these

Correct Answer:

Rs. 250

Explanation:

Let the sum paid to Y be 100

Then according to the question, X will be 120

So,

220 (100+120) = 550

then 100 (Sum paid to Y) = \(\frac{550 }{ 220}\) x 100 = 250
