month of the year.


(a) Rs. 48
(b) Rs. 28
(c) Rs. 100
(d) Rs. 72​

Answer 1

Answer :-

(a) Rs. 48

Explanation :-

Given, M : W : C = 2 : 3 : 5,

But no. of Men = 100

It implies the number of women = 50 × 3 = 150 & the number of children = 5 × 50 = 250

Ratio of wages = 2 : 2 : 8

Total wages received by all = (100 × 2) + (150 × 2) + (250 × 8) = 2500

Now, if total wages are Rs. 2500, a man gets Rs. 4, if total wages are 1000,

$\sf \color{cyan} Daily \: wages \: of \: a \: man \: = \: \frac{4}{2500} \: \times \: 1000 \: = \: \frac{8}{5}$

$\sf \color{lime} Therefore, \: monthly \: wages \: of \: men \: in \: April \: which \: has \: 30 \: days \: = \: \frac{8}{5} \: \times \: 30 \: = \: Rs. 48$

$\mathfrak \color{red} Hence, \: option \: A \: is \: correct.$
