D. Rs. 257

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let per day income of boy, women, man are = x, x + 10, x + 20
According to the question,
$$ \Rightarrow \frac{{7M + 11W + 2B}}{{20}}$$    = 257.50
$$ \Rightarrow 7\left( {x + 20} \right) + 11\left( {x + 10} \right) + 2x$$       = 257.50 × 20
$$ \Rightarrow 7x + 140 + 11x + 110 + 2x$$       = 5150
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow 20x = 5150 - 250 \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{4900}}{{20}} \cr & \Rightarrow x = 245 \cr} $$
Per day income of man
= x + 20
= 245 + 20
= 265
