A man and a boy received $800 as wages for 5 days for the work they did together. The man’s efficiency in the work was three times that of the boy. What are the daily wages of the boy?
-
- $76
- $56
- $44
- $40
Correct Option: D
According to question , we can say that
1 man = 3 boys
Given :- Wages for five days = $800 and Total received payment = $800
| ∴ Wages for one day = | 800 | = $ 160 |
| 5 |
The wages of $160 are to be divided among the man and boy in the ratio 1 : 3.
| ∴Wages of the boy per day = $ |  | x | Total payment |  | Sum of both ratios |
| ∴ Wages of the boy per day = | 1 | x 160 = $ 40 |
| 4 |
