  • Options

  • D. 50%

  • Correct Answer
  • 50% 

    Explanation

    Let 1st person be X and 2nd person be Y.
    Then, X's 1 day's work = 1/26
    Y's 1 day's work = 1/39
    X's share : Y's share
    = 1/26 : 1/39 = 3/78 : 2/78 = 3 : 2
    Difference of ratio = 3 - 2 = 1
    ? Required percentage = (1/2) x 100% = 50%
    ? 1 st person's wages is 50 % more than the 2nd person's wages.
