Six men earn as much as 7 women, 2 women as much as 3 boys and 4 boys as much as 5 girls. If a girl earns Rs.400.00 a week what does a man earn in a day.
Answer: Rs.125.00
Explanation
Let's break it down step by step:
- 4 boys = 5 girls, so 1 boy = 1.25 girls (since 5/4 = 1.25)
- 2 women = 3 boys, so 1 woman = 1.5 boys (since 3/2 = 1.5)
- 1 woman = 1.5 boys = 1.5 x 1.25 girls = 1.875 girls (since 1 boy = 1.25 girls)
- 6 men = 7 women, so 1 man = 1.167 women (since 7/6 = 1.167)
- Since 1 woman = 1.875 girls, 1 man = 1.167 x 1.875 girls = 2.188 girls
- If a girl earns Rs. 400 per week, a man earns Rs. 2.188 x 400 = Rs. 875.20 per week
- Daily earnings of a man = Rs. 875.20 / 7 = Rs. 125.00
So, the correct answer is Rs. 125.00.
