Question

The ratio of daily work wages of a and b is 4 : 3 and one person out of a and b gets work wage rs 9 more than the other calculated on daily basis, tell their daily work wages? (a) rs 80 and rs 60 (b) rs 60 and rs 45 (c) rs 36 and rs 27 (d) rs 32 and rs 24

Answer 1

Here there are two workers who get daily wages.  The ratio is 4:3

Let a gets 4k and b gets 3k rupees as daily wages.

Also it is given that a gets 9 more than B.

In other words, the difference of their wages = 4k-3k is equal to 9

This gives k =9

When k =9, we can calculate daily wages of a and b easily.

Wages of a = 4k = 36 and

wages of b = 3k = 27

Hence option c is the right answer.
