    2 men and 1 woman can complete a piece of work in 14 days, while 4 women and men can do the same work in 8 days. If a man gets Rs. 90 per day, what should be the wages per day of a woman?

    A)  Rs.48             

    B)  Rs.60

    C)  Rs.72             

    D)  Rs.135

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[\because \,\,\,\,\,2m+1\,w=\frac{1}{14}\]      ......(i) \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,14\,(2m+1w)=1\] and \[4\,w+2m=\frac{1}{8}\] \[8\,(4\,\,w+2\,m)=1\]          .......(ii) On equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[14(2m+1w)=8\,(4w+2m)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,28\text{ }m+14\text{ }w=32\text{ }w+16\text{ }m\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,28\text{ }m-16\text{ }m=32\text{ }w-14\text{ }w\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,12m=18\,w\Rightarrow \,\frac{m}{w}=\frac{18}{12}=\frac{3}{2}\] So, efficiency of 1 man and 1 woman is \[3:2\] So, their wages must be in the same ratio \[\therefore \,\,\frac{90}{x}=\frac{3}{2}\] (where, x = wages of a woman) \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,x=\frac{90\times 2}{3}=\]
