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

The Correct Option is D

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).
