2 men and 1 woman can complete a piece of work in 14 days while 4 women and 2 men can do the same work in 8 days. If a man gets Rs. 180 per day, then a woman will get per day
-
- Rs. 150
- Rs. 140
- Rs. 120
- Rs. 160
Correct Option: C
(2 men + 1 woman)’s 14 days’ work ≡ (4 women + 2 men)’s 8 days’ work
⇒ 28 men + 14 women ≡ 32 women + 16 men
⇒ (28 – 16) = 12 men ≡ (32 – 14) = 18 women
⇒ 2 men ≡ 3 women
∴ 1 woman ≡ | man | 3 |
∵ Wages per day of 1 man = Rs. 180
∴ Wages per day of 1 woman
= | × 180 = Rs. 120 | 3 |
