The correct Answer is:
To find the total money earned by the children, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the ratio of wages The individual wages of men, women, and children are given in the ratio of 4:3:2. ### Step 2: Assign variables based on the ratio Let the wages of men, women, and children be represented as: - Wage of one man = 4K - Wage of one woman = 3K - Wage of one child = 2K ### Step 3: Calculate the total wages for each group Now, we can calculate the total wages for 6 men, 8 women, and 6 children: - Total wages of men = 6 men × 4K = 24K - Total wages of women = 8 women × 3K = 24K - Total wages of children = 6 children × 2K = 12K ### Step 4: Calculate the total wages Now, we add the total wages of all groups: Total wages = Total wages of men + Total wages of women + Total wages of children Total wages = 24K + 24K + 12K = 60K ### Step 5: Set up the equation with the total payment We know the total payment for the job is Rs. 950. Therefore, we can set up the equation: 60K = 950 ### Step 6: Solve for K Now, we can solve for K: K = 950 / 60 K = 15.8333 (approximately) ### Step 7: Calculate the total money earned by the children Now that we have the value of K, we can find the total money earned by the children: Total money earned by children = 12K Total money earned by children = 12 × 15.8333 Total money earned by children = 190 ### Final Answer The total money earned by the children is Rs. 190. ---
