    Amount of Sand=1000-200=800g
    Let the sand added “x”
    Iron=10/100(1000+x)
    200=1/10(1000+x)
    2000=1000+x
    2000-1000=x
    1000=x

  • C
  • Let the salaries of A & B= 9x & 4x
    What is 15% of A Salary=?
    15/100*9x=27/20x
    Now, The salary of A
    9x + 27/20 x=5175
    (180x+27x) / 20=5175
    207x/20=5175
    207x=5175*20
    207x=103500
    x=103500/207
    x=500
    The salary of B is =4x
    4x=4 (500)
