An employer reduces the number of his employees in the ratio 9 : 8 and increases their wages in the ratio 14 : 15. If the original wage bill was ₹ 18,900, find the ratio in which the wage bill is decreased.
20 : 21
21 : 20
20 : 19
20 : 19
B.
21 : 20
Let original number of employees = 9x,
Present number of employees = 8x
Let the original wages be 14y
Present wages be 15y
Orginal wage bill = (9x) x (14y) = 126xy
Present wage bill = (8x) x (15y) = 120xy
So, wage bill ratio, Orginal : Present = 126xy : 120xy = 21 : 20
Thus, the wage bill is decreased in the ratio = 21 : 20
Shortcut Method:
Required ratio = 9 x 14 : 8 x 15 = 21 : 20
