Two tailors X and Y are paid a total of 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?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the sum paid to Y per week be Rs. z.
Then, z + 120% of z = 550.
 z + |
120 | z = 550 |
| 100 |
| |
11 | z = 550 |
| 5 |
| z = |
 |
550 x 5 |  = 250. |
| 11 |

Ratio = 120:100 = 6:5 so 550 = 11x then 5x = 250.

A : B
120 : 100
6 : 5
(5/11) * 550 = 250.
120 : 100
6 : 5
(5/11) * 550 = 250.
