A man and a boy received Rs. 600 as wages for 5 days for the work they did together. The man's efficiency in the work was twice that of the boy. What are the daily wages of the boy?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given:
Total wages = ₹600
Total time = 5 days
Man's efficiency = 2 times the boy's
Efficiency ratio
Man : Boy = 2 : 1
Total ratio = 3
Boy's share = (1 / 3) × 600 = 200
Boy's daily wage = 200 / 5 = ₹40
