Answer»

Let the wage of 1 man be rs x and the wage of 1 boy be rs y.

Now, 10x+8y=37......(1)

and, 4x=1+6y

also, 4x-6y=1.........(2)

So,(1)×2; 20x + 16y = 74.....(3)(2) ×5; 20x - 30y = 5........(4)

(3)-(4);46y = 69y= 1.5x=2.5

So, the wage of each man is rs 2.5 while the wage of each boy is rs 1.5.
