A company employed 700 men and 300 women and the average wage was Rs.450 per day. If a man got Rs.50 more than a woman, then the daily wage of the woman is: |
Rs.350 Rs.375 Rs.415 Rs.435 |
Rs.415 |
Let the wages of each men and women be (x +50) and x respectively. Using mixtures and allegations, According to the question, (x - 450) : (400 - x) = 700 : 300 ⇒ (x - 450) : (400 - x) = 7 : 3 ⇒ 3x - 1350 = 2800 - 7x ⇒ 10x = 4150 ⇒ x = 415 Therefore, the daily wage of the women is Rs. 415. |
