In a company, which worked 6 days a week, the total amount paid to the workers for two consecutive weeks was Rs. 3000 and Rs. 3060. If 10 male and 8 female members worked in the first week and 12 male and 6 female members worked in the second week, find the amount paid to each of the male and female workers respectively.
In a company, which worked 6 days a week, the total amount paid to the workers for two consecutive weeks was Rs. 3000 and Rs. 3060. If 10 male and 8 female members worked in the first week and 12 male and 6 female members worked in the second week, find the amount paid to each of the male and female workers respectively. Correct Answer Rs. 30, Rs. 25
Given:
The total amount paid in week 1 and in week 2 is Rs. 3000 and Rs. 3060.
The total worker in week 1,
Male = 10, Female = 8
The total workers in week 2,
Male = 12, Female = 6
Calculation:
In 6 days the total amount is paid Rs. 3000
⇒ 6 days = Rs. 3000
⇒ 1 day = Rs. 500
According to question,
⇒ 10M + 8F = 500
⇒ 5M + 4F = 250 ----(1)
In 6 days the total amount is paid Rs. 3060.
⇒ 6 days = Rs. 3060
⇒ 1 day = Rs. 510
Again, according to the question,
⇒ 12M + 6F = 510
⇒ 2M + F = 85 ----(2)
Equation (2) multiplied by 4 and subtract the equation by (1)
⇒ 8M + 4F - 5M - 4F = 340 - 250
⇒ 3M = 90
⇒ M = 30
From equation (2),
⇒ 60 + F = 85
⇒ F = 25
∴ The amount paid to each of the male and female workers is Rs. 30 and Rs. 25 respectively.
