Correct Option: D
Given that :- Wage of Men : Wage of Women = 2 : 1
Wage of 10 women for 5 days = ₹ 1250.
| Wage of 1 woman for 1 day = ₹ | 1250 | = ₹ 25 | 10 x 5 |
According to question ,
Wage of 1 man for 1 day = 2 x Wage of 1 woman for 1 day
Wage of 1 man for 1 day = ₹ 2 x 25 = ₹ 50
Wage of 1 man for 8 day = ₹ 2 x 25 = ₹ 50 x 8 = ₹ 400
| Number of men = | 1600 | = 4 | 400 |
Hence , required number of men will be 4 .
