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?

[A].	Rs. 200
[B].	Rs. 250
[C].	Rs. 300
[D].	None of these

Answer: Option B

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
