2 men and 1 woman together can complete a piece of work in 14 days, while 4 women and 2 men together can do it in 8 days. If a man gets Rs. 600 per day, how much should a woman get per day?
(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         –––––––––––––––––––––––     3 women ⇒ 3 women ⇒ 3 women ⇒ 1 woman So, 1 woman can complete the whole work in 56 days From Eq. (i), ⇒ 2 men
⇒ 2 men ⇒ 1 man So, 1 man can complete the whole work in days. On comparing 1 man and 1 woman work, 56 women ⇒ 1 woman men Hence, amount received by 1 man per day Thus, amount received by 1 woman per day
