Question

A factory employs skilled workers, unskilled workers and clerks in the proportion 8 : 5 : 1, and the wages of a skilled worker, an unskilled worker and a clerk are in the ratio 5 : 2 : 3. When 20 unskilled workers are employed, the total daily wages of all amount to Rs 318. Total wages paid to each category of workers are


A) Rs 240, Rs 60, Rs 18 B) Rs 200, Rs 90,Rs 28 C) Rs 150, Rs 108, Rs 60 D) Rs 250, Rs 50, Rs 18

Answer 1

Answer:

D is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:A is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation: Proportion of workers is 8 : 5 : 1

Proportion of wages 5 : 2 : 3

Now there is some similarity here because both are in some way interconnected

therefore we have to multiply 8 * 5 : 5 *2 : 1 * 3

                                    we get    40 : 10 : 3

                                           

now the wage of skilled labour = 318 * 40 ÷ 40 + 3 + 10 = Rs 240

now the wage of unskilled labour = 318 * 10 ÷ 40 + 3 + 10 = Rs 60

now the wage of clerks = 318 * 3 ÷ 40 + 3 + 10  = Rs 18

if someone would help me find the wage of one unskilled labour, one skilled labour and one clerk that would be great
