Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let numbers of employees are 9x, 8x and their incomes are Rs. 14y and Rs. 15y, respectively,

$ \therefore $ $ 9x\times 14y=18900 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ xy=\frac{18900}{14\times 9}=150 $ New bill of wages $ =8\times 15\times 150=18000 $ Hence, required ratio $ =\frac{18900}{18000}=\frac{21}{20}=21:20 $
