    10 men or 50 women can complete a piece of work in 40

    days. A man and a woman together complete the work and receive a total wage of Rs. 6,000. Find the difference between the wages received by them.
    A Rs.4,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.3,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.3,750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    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, 10M × 40 = 50W × 40 So, 10M = 50W Or, (M/W) = (50/10) = 5 Required difference = {(5 - 1) /(5 + 1) } × 6000 = (4/6) × 6000 = Rs. 4,000
