The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and calculate the required wages. ### Step 1: Determine the daily wages based on efficiency The efficiency ratio of P, Q, and R is given as 2:3:5. This means: - P's daily wage = 2x - Q's daily wage = 3x - R's daily wage = 5x ### Step 2: Calculate total wages based on days worked P works for 14 days, Q for 24 days, and R for 20 days. The total wages can be expressed as: - Total wages = (P's wage for 14 days) + (Q's wage for 24 days) + (R's wage for 20 days) - Total wages = (2x * 14) + (3x * 24) + (5x * 20) ### Step 3: Substitute the values and set up the equation Now substituting the values: - Total wages = (28x) + (72x) + (100x) = 6000 - Combine like terms: 200x = 6000 ### Step 4: Solve for x To find the value of x, divide both sides by 200: - x = 6000 / 200 - x = 30 ### Step 5: Calculate individual wages for P, Q, and R Now we can find the daily wages: - P's daily wage = 2x = 2 * 30 = 60 - Q's daily wage = 3x = 3 * 30 = 90 - R's daily wage = 5x = 5 * 30 = 150 ### Step 6: Calculate total wages for new working days Now we need to find the total wages if: - P works for 9 days - Q works for 14 days - R works for 8 days Total wages can be calculated as: - Total wages = (P's wage for 9 days) + (Q's wage for 14 days) + (R's wage for 8 days) - Total wages = (60 * 9) + (90 * 14) + (150 * 8) ### Step 7: Substitute and calculate Now substituting the values: - Total wages = (540) + (1260) + (1200) ### Step 8: Add the total wages together Now add them up: - Total wages = 540 + 1260 + 1200 = 3000 ### Final Answer The total wages of P, Q, and R when P works for 9 days, Q for 14 days, and R for 8 days is Rs. 3000. ---
