Question:

Piyush and Namrata worked together and received a total of Rs. 51,000 for 17 days. Namrata's efficiency in the work was 20% than that of Piyush. The daily wage of Namrata (in Rs.) was?

Options:

Rs. 2500

Rs. 600

Rs. 700  

Rs. 500

Correct Answer:

Rs. 500

Explanation:

Total daily wage for 1 day = \(\frac{51000}{17}\) = Rs. 3000

Wages of Piyush & Namrata will be divided according to their efficiency :

Piyush : Namrata = 5 : 1 = 6

Daily wages of Namrata = \(\frac{1}{6}\) × 3000 = Rs. 500
