Answer 1

The total money earned by the children (in rupees) is 190.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in question that 6 men, 8 women and 6 children complete a job for a sum of Rs.950 and their individual wages are in the ratio 4:3:2.

So, the total money earned by the men is 6*4*x

Similarly,the total money earned by the women is 8*3*x

and the total money earned by the children is 6*2*x

Then total sum is

950=6*4*x + 8*3*x + 6*2*x

60x=950

x=\frac{950}{60}

So, the total money earned by the children is = 6*2*x

 6*2*\frac{950}{60}

 \frac{950}{5}

 190

The total money earned by the children (in rupees) is 190.
