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 ?
Correct Answer: Option B
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.
