    45 women working for 48 days get total wages of Rs. 15525. How many men must work 16 days to Rs. 5750, the daily wages of a man being double those of a woman?

    A)  20 men            

    B)  25 men

    C)  28 men            

    D)  30 men

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Wage of a woman for a day \[=\frac{15525}{45\times 48}\]=Rs. \[\frac{115}{16}\] Thus, wage of a man for a day \[=2\times \frac{115}{16}\] = Rs.\[\frac{115}{8}\] Now, number of men \[=\frac{\text{Total}\,\,\text{wage}}{\text{Number}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{days}\,\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}\,\,\text{man }\!\!'\!\!\text{ s}\,\,\text{wages}}\] \[=\frac{5750\times 8}{16\times 115}=25\,\,\text{men}\] (\[\because \]Total wage = One person's one day's wage x Number of persons \[\times \]Number of days)
