8 men, 10 women and 12 young boys working together and earned ₹3760. If the daily wages of a man, a woman and a boy are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4, the daily wages of 2 men, 3 women and one young boy are: |
₹720 ₹900 ₹680 ₹650 |
₹680 |
Daily wages of a man, a woman and a boy are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4 Total wages of 8 men, 10 women and 12 young boys = 8 × 2R + 10 × 3R + 12 × 4R = 16R + 30R + 48R = 94R ATQ, 94R = 3760 1R = 40 Wages of 2 men, 3 women and one young boy are = 2 × 2R + 3 × 3R + 1 × 4R = 17R = 17 × 40 = 680 The correct answer is Option (3) → ₹680 |
