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
Correct Answer: 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
