Q:

A certain factory employed 600 men and 400 women and the average wager was Rs. 25.50 per day, If a woman got Rs. 5 less than a man, then what are their daily wages ?

A) m:25.50 w:27.50 B) m:27.50 w:22.50
C) m:26.50 w:27.50 D) m: 24.50 w:26.50
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) m:27.50 w:22.50

Explanation:

Let the daily wage of a man be Rs. x.

Then, daily wage of a woman = Rs. (x - 5).

Now, 600x + 400 (x - 5) = 25.50 * (600 + 400) <=>  1000x = 27500 <=>  x = 27.50.

Man's daily wages = Rs. 27.50; Woman's daily wages = (x - 5) = Rs. 22.50.
