10 male

Question:
Wages of 10 women for 5 days is Rs.1250. The daily wage of a man is twice that of a woman. How many men must work for 8 days to earn Rs.1600?
Options:
A) 5 men
B) 8 men   
C)  4 men
D) 6 men
E) None of these
Solution:

Wage of 10w → 5days → Rs.1250

∴ 1w → 5days → Rs. \(\cfrac{1250}{10}\)

⇒ 1w → 1day → Rs. \(\cfrac{1250}{10×5}\) = Rs.25

Wage of 1 M = 2 × wage of 1 w

= 2 × 25 = Rs.50

Required no. = \(\cfrac{1600}{50×8}\) = 4 men
