If a factory, the salary of each worker is increased in the ratio $$22:25$$ but the number of workers is decreased by $$26\frac{2}{3}$$% . The net effect on the salary is

Let original salary of 1 worker = Rs. $$22$$

Let original number of workers = $$300$$

Thus, total salary = $$22\times300=Rs.$$ $$6600$$

=> New salary = Rs. $$25$$

and new number of workers = $$300-(\frac{80}{3\times100}\times300)$$

= $$300-80=220$$

=> Total new salary = $$25\times220=Rs.$$ $$5500$$

$$\therefore$$ Net salary is decreased by = $$\frac{(6600-5500)}{6600}\times100$$

= $$\frac{100}{6}=16\frac{2}{3}\%$$

=> Ans - (C)
