The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the information provided in the question and the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratios The daily wages of workers P, Q, and R are given in the ratio of 21:16:18. This means: - Wage of P = 21x - Wage of Q = 16x - Wage of R = 18x ### Step 2: Calculate the Extra Wage on Sunday When any of the workers work on Sunday, they receive an extra Rs. 125. Therefore, the wages on Sunday will be: - Wage of P on Sunday = 21x + 125 - Wage of Q on Sunday = 16x + 125 - Wage of R on Sunday = 18x + 125 ### Step 3: Understand the Sunday Wage Ratio The ratio of the wages of P, Q, and R for a weekday and Sunday is given as 26:21:23. This means: - Wage of P on Sunday = 26y - Wage of Q on Sunday = 21y - Wage of R on Sunday = 23y ### Step 4: Set Up Equations From the previous steps, we can set up the following equations based on the Sunday wages: 1. \( 21x + 125 = 26y \) (1) 2. \( 16x + 125 = 21y \) (2) 3. \( 18x + 125 = 23y \) (3) ### Step 5: Solve the Equations We can solve these equations to find the values of x and y. From equation (1): \[ 21x + 125 = 26y \] Rearranging gives: \[ 21x = 26y - 125 \] \[ x = \frac{26y - 125}{21} \quad (4) \] From equation (2): \[ 16x + 125 = 21y \] Rearranging gives: \[ 16x = 21y - 125 \] \[ x = \frac{21y - 125}{16} \quad (5) \] Setting equations (4) and (5) equal to each other: \[ \frac{26y - 125}{21} = \frac{21y - 125}{16} \] Cross-multiplying: \[ 16(26y - 125) = 21(21y - 125) \] Expanding both sides: \[ 416y - 2000 = 441y - 2625 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 441y - 416y = 2625 - 2000 \] \[ 25y = 625 \] \[ y = 25 \] ### Step 6: Find x Substituting y back into equation (4): \[ x = \frac{26(25) - 125}{21} \] \[ x = \frac{650 - 125}{21} \] \[ x = \frac{525}{21} \] \[ x = 25 \] ### Step 7: Calculate Wages Now we can find the actual wages: - Wage of P = \( 21x = 21(25) = 525 \) - Wage of R = \( 18x = 18(25) = 450 \) ### Step 8: Calculate Sunday Wages - Wage of P on Sunday = \( 525 + 125 = 650 \) - Wage of R on Sunday = \( 450 + 125 = 575 \) ### Step 9: Find the Difference Now we find the difference between the wages of P and R on both weekdays and Sundays: - Weekday difference = \( 525 - 450 = 75 \) - Sunday difference = \( 650 - 575 = 75 \) Thus, the difference between the wage of P and R on a weekday and Sunday is: \[ \text{Difference} = 75 \] ### Final Answer The difference between the wage of P and R on a weekday and Sunday is Rs. 75. ---
