    days. A man and a woman together complete the work and receive a total wage of Rs. 10,800. Find the difference between the wages received by them.

    D Rs.3,520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the efficiency of a man and a woman be 'M' and 'W' units/day respectively. We have, 18M × 30 = 36W × 30 So, 18M = 36W Or, (M/W) = (36/18) = 2 Required difference = {(2 - 1) /(2 + 1) } × 10800 = (1/3) × 10800 = Rs. 3,600
