Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rs.415.
Calculations:
Let the daily wage of woman be x
Daily wage of man = x + 50
According to the question;
⇒ 700(x + 50) + 300x = 1000 × 450
⇒ 700x + 35000 + 300x = 450000
⇒ 1000x = 415000
⇒ x = 415
Therefore, daily wage of woman = Rs 415
