- Wages for 45 women amount to rupees 15525 in 48 days. How many men require to work 16 days to receive rupees 5750, the daily wages of a man being double of those of a woman?
Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Apply the formula:
M1 * D1 * E1 * W2 = M2 * D2 * E2 * W1
Where E = efficiency or wages, and W = work or amount
ATQ, M1 = 45, D1 = 48, E1 = 1, W1 = 15525
M2 =? D2= 16, E2 = 2, W2 = 5750.
Now, 45 * 48 * 1 * 5750 = M2 * 16 * 2 *15525
Or, M2 = [45 * 48 * 5750]/ [16* 2* 15525]
Or, M2 = 25
Hence, 25 men required.
