Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs.750 per week by their employer. If X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week?
Answers
A) s . 200.90
B) s . 250.90
C) s . 290.90
D) s . 300.90
E) s . 340.90

Rationale: "let the amount paid to x per week = x and the amount paid to y per week = y then x + y = 750 but x = 120 % of y = 120 y / 100 = 12 y / 10 ∴ 12 y / 10 + y = 750 ⇒ y [ 12 / 10 + 1 ] = 750 ⇒ 22 y / 10 = 750 ⇒ 22 y = 7500 ⇒ y = 7500 / 22 = rs . 340.90 e )"
Answer: E
