Two persons A and B are paid a total of ₹2,040 per week by their employer. If B is paid 140 per cent of the sum paid to A, then how much is A paid per week?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
A + B = Rs. 2040/week.
Given,
A : B
Efficiency 140 : 100
7 : 5
⇒ (7 + 5)x = 2040
⇒ 12x = 2040
⇒ x = 170
Therefore, A share per week is 5 x 170 = Rs. 850.
