Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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
