Question

One-fourth of Nikhil's money is equal to one-sixth of Yogesh's money. If both together have Rs 600, what is the difference between their amounts?

• A. Rs 160
• B. Rs 240
• C. Rs 200
• D. Rs 120

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Rs 120

Answer 2

Let Nikhil has Rs. $x$ and Yogesh has Rs. $y$.
According to question
\frac{1}{4}$$x = \frac{1}{6}$$y ……………(i)
and x$$+$$y=600 ……….(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
Nikhil has Rs. $x$ = Rs. 240
and Yogesh has Rs. $y$ = Rs. 360
So the correct option is (D).
