Question

2 men and 1 women together can complete a piece of work in 14 days, while 4 women and 2 men together can do it in 8 days. If a man gets Rs. 600 per day. how much should a woman get per day ? 

(a) Rs. 400 

(b) Rs. 450 

(c) Rs. 480 

(d) Rs. 360 

Answer 1

Correct option (a) Rs. 400

Explanation:

According to question, 

 (2 men + 1 women)× 14_days 

=(2 men + 1 women)× 14_days

14 men + 7women = 8men + 16 women 

6 men = 9 women 

2 men = 3 women 

1 man get = Rs.600/days 

2 men get = Rs. 1200/days 

(Wages always divided in the ratio of efficiency) 

So, 3 women will get = Rs. 1200/days [2m = 3w]

1 woman will get =400/days
