A certain factory employed 600 men and 400 women and the average wage was Rs. 25.50 per day. If women got Rs. 5 less than a man, then what are their daily wages?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Let the daily wage of a man be Rs. x
Then, daily wage of a woman = Rs. (x - 5)
Now,
⇒ 600x + 400(x - 5) = 25.50 × (600 + 400)
⇒ 1000x = 27500
⇒ x = 27.50
∴ Man's daily wages = Rs. 27.50
Woman's daily wages = (x - 5) = Rs. 22.50
Then, daily wage of a woman = Rs. (x - 5)
Now,
⇒ 600x + 400(x - 5) = 25.50 × (600 + 400)
⇒ 1000x = 27500
⇒ x = 27.50
∴ Man's daily wages = Rs. 27.50
Woman's daily wages = (x - 5) = Rs. 22.50
