Options:

₹720

₹900

₹680

₹650

Correct Answer:

₹680

Explanation:

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
