Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 590 per week by their employer. If X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week? Choose the most appropriate option
A) s . 268	B) s . 288	C) s . 298	D) s . 300	E) s . 388

Rationale: "let the amount paid to x per week = x and the amount paid to y per week = y then x + y = 590 but x = 120 % of y = 120 y / 100 = 12 y / 10 ∴ 12 y / 10 + y = 590 ⇒ y [ 12 / 10 + 1 ] = 590 ⇒ 22 y / 10 = 590 ⇒ 22 y = 5900 ⇒ y = 5900 / 22 = 500 / 2 = rs . 268 a )"
Answer: A
