The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the amount received by a man per day based on the information provided about the work done by men and women. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Work Done**: - Let the work done by one man in one day be \( M \) and the work done by one woman in one day be \( W \). - According to the problem, 3 men and 2 women can complete the work in 4 days. Therefore, the total work can be expressed as: \[ \text{Total Work} = (3M + 2W) \times 4 \] - Similarly, 2 men and 3 women can complete the same work in 5 days: \[ \text{Total Work} = (2M + 3W) \times 5 \] 2. **Setting Up the Equations**: - From the first scenario: \[ 12M + 8W = \text{Total Work} \quad (1) \] - From the second scenario: \[ 10M + 15W = \text{Total Work} \quad (2) \] 3. **Equating the Total Work**: - Since both expressions represent the same total work, we can set them equal to each other: \[ 12M + 8W = 10M + 15W \] 4. **Simplifying the Equation**: - Rearranging gives: \[ 12M - 10M = 15W - 8W \] \[ 2M = 7W \] - This implies: \[ M = \frac{7}{2}W \quad (3) \] 5. **Finding the Daily Wage of Men**: - We know that a woman earns ₹ 44 per day. Therefore: \[ W = 44 \] - Substituting \( W \) into equation (3): \[ M = \frac{7}{2} \times 44 = \frac{308}{2} = 154 \] 6. **Conclusion**: - The amount received by a man per day is ₹ 154. ### Final Answer: The amount received by a man per day is ₹ 154.
