The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Calculate the Daily Wage of a Woman We know that the wages of 45 women for 30 days amount to ₹31,050. We can use the formula: \[ \text{Total Wages} = \text{Number of Women} \times \text{Daily Wage of Woman} \times \text{Number of Days} \] Substituting the known values: \[ 31,050 = 45 \times \text{Daily Wage of Woman} \times 30 \] Now, we can isolate the Daily Wage of a Woman: \[ \text{Daily Wage of Woman} = \frac{31,050}{45 \times 30} \] Calculating the right side: \[ \text{Daily Wage of Woman} = \frac{31,050}{1350} = 23 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Daily Wage of a Man According to the problem, the daily wage of a man is double that of a woman: \[ \text{Daily Wage of Man} = 2 \times \text{Daily Wage of Woman} = 2 \times 23 = 46 \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation for Men We need to find out how many men must work for 10 days to receive ₹11,500. We can set up the equation similarly: \[ \text{Total Wages} = \text{Number of Men} \times \text{Daily Wage of Man} \times \text{Number of Days} \] Substituting the known values: \[ 11,500 = \text{Number of Men} \times 46 \times 10 \] ### Step 4: Isolate the Number of Men Now we can isolate the Number of Men: \[ \text{Number of Men} = \frac{11,500}{46 \times 10} \] Calculating the right side: \[ \text{Number of Men} = \frac{11,500}{460} = 25 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the number of men required to work for 10 days to receive ₹11,500 is **25**. ---
