Answer should be 35% in the above question (D) should be correct option.
Consider Employees previously 300 & reduced employees be 200.
Wages received be Rs. 20 & Rs. 27.
Total wages = Rs. 600 to 30 employees
Total wages when some employees left = Rs. 540 to 20 employees
Percentage profit to employees= Rs 540 - Rs 400 / Rs 400 = 35%
Because now employees benefitted are 20 only which remained in the office.

Question:
In an office the number of employees reduces in the ratio of 3: 2 and the wages increases in the ratio of 20 : 27. What is the profit percentage of employees over the previous wages?
Options:
A) 10%
B) 9.09%
C) 11.11%
D) None of these
Solution:

Total wages  = no. of employees x  wage per employee

60xy = 3x x 20y

54xy = 2x x 27y

Profit (%) = \(\cfrac{60-54}{60}\)   × 100 = 10 %
