Question 23
A man and a boy received Rs. 1.600 as wages for 5 days for the work they did together. The man's efficiency in the work was three times that of the boy. What are the daily wages of the boy?
Solution
If the man's efficiency was 3 times the boy's then he would have done 3 times of the work done by the boy.
So, his wages should also be 3 times the boy's.
Let us assume the daily wages of the boy = X and of the man = 3X.
Total daily wages = 1600/5 = 320.
X + 3X = 320 ==> X = 80.
Daily wages of the boy are 80.
