Question

A certain company employed 400 men and 600 women, and the average wage was Rs. 25.5 per day. If a man got Rs. 5 less than a woman did, then what is the average salary of a man and a woman respectively?

• A. 20, 25
• B. 22.5, 27.5
• C. 25, 30
• D. 27.5, 32.5

Answer 1

The correct option is D 27.5, 32.5

Average daily wage $=25.5=\frac{400x+600(x+5}{1000}\Rightarrow 1000x=25500-3000=22500$
Therefore, average daily wage of a man = 22.5 Rs.
Average daily wage of a woman = 22.5+5 = 27.5 Rs.
