Two persons A and B are paid a total of Rs. 2040 per week by their employer. If B is paid 140 percent of the sum paid to A, then how much is A paid per week?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 850

Application

Let the amount paid to A = X

So,

The amount paid to B = X + 1.4X = 2.4X

Now,

2.4X = 2040

⇒ X = 850

Hence,

The amount paid to A = Rs. 850
