    The number of employees working in a farm is increased by 25% and the wages per head are decreased by 25%. If it results in x% decrease in total wages, then the value of x is

    A) 0

    B)  25

    C)  20

    D)  \[\frac{25}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the original number of employees be 100 and wages per head be Rs. 100.
    Total wages = Rs.\[(100\times 100)\]= Rs. 10000
    New number of employees = 125
    New wages per head = Rs. 75
    Total new wages = Rs. \[(125\times 75)\]= Rs. 9375
    Decrease = Rs. \[(10000-9375)\]= Rs. 625
    \[\therefore \]Percentage decrease\[=\frac{625}{10000}\times 100=\frac{625}{100}=\frac{25}{4}\]
