If 5 men or 7 women can earn Rs 5,250 per day, how much would 7 men and 13 women earn per day?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
If 5 men can earn Rs 5,250 that means 1 man can earn = \(\frac{ 5250}{ 5}\) = 1,050
Thus, 7 men can earn = 1,050 x 7 = 7,350
Similarly, if 7 women can earn Rs 5,250 that means 1 woman can earn = \(\frac{ 5,250}{ 7}\) = 750
Thus, 13 women can earn = 750 x 13 = 9,750
Therefore. 7 men + 13 women = 7,350 + 9,750 = 17,100
