Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 600 per week by their employer. If X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week? Select
A) s.200.72 B) s.250.72 C) s.272.72 D) s.300.72 E) s.310.72
Let the amount paid to X per week = x   and the amount paid to Y per week = y   Then x + y = 600   But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10   ∴12y/10 + y = 600   ⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 600   ⇒ 22y/10 = 600   ⇒ 22y = 6000   ⇒ y = 6000/22 = Rs.272.72   s.272.72
