(2 men + 1 woman) can complete a work in 14 days
So,(2 men +1 woman)'s 1 day's work
= Hence, 2 men + 1 woman
=.......(i)
Similarly, 2 men + 4 woman
= .... (ii)
On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq (ii), we get
2 men +4 woman = 2 men +1 woman =− − − ––––––––––––––––––––––––
3women=− ⇒3women== ⇒3women= ⇒1woman= So, 1 woman can complete the whole work in 56 days
From Eq. (i).
⇒2 men =− = ⇒2men= ⇒1man= So, 1 man can complete the whole work in
days
On comparing 1 man and 1 woman work,
56 woman
= men
⇒ 1 woman
= men
Hence, amount received by 1 man per day
=Rs600 Thus, amount received by 1 woman per day
=600× = Rs 400
