The correct option is A
240,60,18

The ratio of total wages paid is $8 \times 5 : 5 \times 2 : 1 \times 3 = 40 : 10 : 3$

So let 40x,10x and 3x be the total daily wages paid for men, women and children respectively

Then x=6

So total wages paid for men, women and children respectively are 240,60,18
