On a construction site, men, women and children are working in the ratio of 9 ∶ 4 ∶ 1. Their wages are in the ratio of 8 ∶ 5 ∶ 3. If 60 women are working on this site, then total daily wages of all persons is Rs. 2,850. Daily wages of a child is equal to 1. Rs. 52. Rs. 63. Rs. 74. Rs. 8

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 6

Given:

Total women working in the site = 60

Ratio of men, women and children = 9 ∶ 4 ∶ 1 

Ratio of wages of men, women and children = 8 ∶ 5 ∶ 3

∴ Let the number of men, women and children be 9x, 4x and x

Number of women is 60

⇒ 4x = 60 or x = 15

∴ Number of men = 9 × 15 = 135

Number of children = 15

Let their wages men, women and children be 8x, 5x and 3x 

⇒ 135 × 8x + 60 × 5x + 15 × 3x = 2,850

⇒ 1425x = 2850 or x = 2

∴ Daily wages of a child = 3 × 2 = Rs. 6
