Question

A factory employs skilled , unskilled workers and clerks in the ratio 8:5:1 and the wages of them are in the ratio of 5:2:3. when 20 unskilled workers are employed the total wages amount to 318. what is the daily wages paid to each type of worker?(a)₹4.5 (b)₹3 (c)₹7.5 (d)₹5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of skilled worker: unskilled worker: clerks = 8:5:1 and the ratio of their respective Wages = 5:2:3

Hence the amount will be paid in the ratio 8 × 5 : 5 × 2 : 3 × 1 = 40 : 10:3

Hence total amount distributed among unskilled workers

318 x 10 / (40+10 +3) = Rs 60.

But the number of unskilled workers is 20, so the daily wages of unskilled worker

60/20 = rs.30

The wages of a skilled worker, an unskilled worker and a clerk are in the ratio = 5:2:3

Multiplying the ratio by (5/2) and (3/2)we get = 7.50 : 3 : 4.50

So, if an unskilled worker gets Rs.3 a day then a skilled worker gets Rs. 7.50 per day a clerks Rs. 4.50 a day
