Q:

A company reduces his employee in the ratio 14 : 12 andincreases their wages in the ratio 16:18. Determine whetherthe bill of wages increases or not and in what ratio

A) Decreases, 28: 27 B) Increases, 27:28
C) Decreases, 29:28 D) Increases, 28:29
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Decreases, 28: 27

Explanation:

Let the initial employee be 14a and final employee be 12a

similarly initial wage is 16b and final wage be 18b

Total initial wage = 14a × 16b = 224ab,

total final wage= 12a × 18b = 216ab

So clearly wages decreases and ratio = 224ab: 216ab= 28 : 27
