View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

The wages of labourers in a factory increases in the ratio 22:25 and there was a reduction in the number of labourers in the ratio 15:11. Find the original wage bill if the present bill is Rs 5000 ? Ratio of increase of wages = 22:25 Ratio of decrease of labourers = 15:11 Compound ratio of wages of labourers = 22 x 15 : 25 x 11 = 330:275 Final bill = Rs. 5000 For 275 ratio wages = Rs. 5000 For 1 ratio wages = 5000/275 For 330 ratio wages = 5000/275 x 330 = Rs. 6000
