### Explanatory Answer

##### Method of solving this CAT Question from Percentages: Compare the income of A, B, C and D.

A = $$frac{5}{4}\\$ * B or B = $\frac{4}{5}\\$ * A C = $\frac{5}{4}\\$ * A A = $\frac{6}{5}\\$ * D or D = $\frac{5}{6}\\$ * A E = $\frac{6}{5}\\$ * A In order for the amounts earned by A, B, C, D and E to be integers, the amount earned by A should be a multiple of 4, 5 and 6. Or, the amount earned by A should be a multiple of 60. The only multiple of 60 that is a 2–digit number is 60. So, if A earns Rs. 60, B should earn Rs. 48. C should earn Rs. 75, D should earn Rs. 50 and E should earn Rs. 72. The total income earned by all 5 of them should be equal to Rs. 60 + Rs. 48 + Rs. 75 + Rs. 50 + Rs. 72 => Rs. 305 The question is " What is the total amount earned by all five of them put together?" The total income earned by all 5 of them should be equal to Rs. 305 ##### Hence, the answer is Rs. 305 Choice C is the correct answer. ###### Best Online CAT CoachingSignup and sample 9 classes Signup Now! ###### Already have an Account? ###### CAT Coaching in ChennaiCAT 2020Enroll at 44,000/- Next Weekend Batch Starts Sat, Sept 21st, 2019 ###### Best CAT Coaching in ChennaiRegister Online, get Rs 4000/- off Intakes Closing Soon! ##### Where is 2IIM located? 2IIM Online CAT Coaching A Fermat Education Initiative, 10-C, Kalinga Colony, Bobbili Raja Salai K.K.Nagar, Chennai.
