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


A) Man : Rs. 25; Woman : Rs. 20

B) Man • Rs. 27.50, Woman : Rs. 22.50

C) Man : Rs. 30, Woman : Rs. 25

D) Man : Rs. 32.50, Woman : Rs. 27.50

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Let the daily wage of a man is x
Daily wage of a woman is x-5
Now 600x+400(x-5)=25.50*(600+400)
=>1000x=27500
=>x=27.50
So man wage is 27.5 and woman's wage is x-5=27.50-5=22.50
