Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 560 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 correct choice from the following
A) s.254  B) s.284  C) s.290  D) s.304  E) s.380
Let the amount paid to X per week = x   and the amount paid to Y per week = y   Then x + y = 560   But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10   ∴12y/10 + y = 560   ⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 560   ⇒ 22y/10 = 560   ⇒ 22y = 5600   ⇒ y = 5600/22 = Rs.254 (s.254pprox)   s.254)
