Question

A certain sum is divided equally among 50 boys and each get ₹ 120. if the same sum is equally divided among 40 boys , how much will each get ?

• A. ₹ 140
• B. ₹ 150
• C. ₹ 135
• D. ₹ 200

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹ 150

Let each boy get ₹ $x$

As the number of boys decreases the amount each one gets increases

Hence $\frac{50}{40}$ = $\frac{x}{120}$

$x$ = $\frac{50\times 120}{40}$

= ₹ 150

Hence each will receive ₹ 150
