Question

men,women and children are employed in the ratio 1:2:3 to do a work and their daily wages are in the ratio 6:3:2.When 50 men are employed then total wages of all the workers amount to rs.9000.Find the daily wages paid to 1 man,1 woman and 1 children

Answer 1

let the ratio of people be 1x,2x,3x and the ratio of wages be 6x,3x,2x
A.T.Q.
1x=50
therefore 2x=100,
3x=150

6x=9000
x=9000/6
x=1500
therefore 3x=3*1500=4500,
2x=2*1500=3000

for 1man=1500,
woman=1500,
children=1500

Answer 2

Hi there!

I hope this will help you do the answer on your own -

if they employed 50 men then they employ 100(2*50) women and 150(3*50) children as given ratio

let the wages given to one children be 2x

Therefore total paid amount is

150*2x+100*3x+50*6x= 4500

300x+300x+300x=4500

900x=4500

x=5

Therefore the amount paid to

one children is 2x =$10

One women is 3x= $15

One men is 6x=$30

You might observe that the employer give the equal amount to all as they work i.e. the ratio of work to paid price is constant for all i.e. $5
