If twenty four men and sixteen women work on a day, the total wages to be paid is 11,600. If twelve men and thirty seven women work on a day, the total wages to be paid remains the same. What is the wages paid to a man for a day's work?

• 24M+16W = 11600, WHERE M & N are number of men and women respectively
  12M+37W= 11600
  Solving the above two, wages for man = 350rupees

• men wage=x
  24 men wage=24x
  same women=16y
  24x+16y=11600------1
  
  and
  men wage 12x
  women wage 37y
  12x+37y=11600--------2
  sove eq 1 and 2
  x=350
  y=200

• Let a man’s wage per day= a
  
  And woman’s wage per day= b.
  
  There are 24 men so, 24xa= 24a and no. Of women is16 so, 16xb= 16b.
  
  Therefore, 24a+ 16b= 11600.---------1
  
  According to the other part of the question,
  
  12a+ 37b= 11600. ------------2
  
  For solving the equations, we will multiply the equation 2 with 2 and we get,
  
  2(12a+ 37b= 11600.)
  
  24a+ 74b =23200.-----------3
  
  Solving 1 and 3 we get,
  
  58b= 11600
  
  B= 200
  
  Putting the value of b=200 in equation 1 we get,
  
  24x a +16x 200= 11600
  
  24 a + 3200= 11600
  
  24 a= 11600- 3200
  
  24a= 8400
  
  A= 8400/24
  
  A= 350
  
  Hence, the daily wage of a man is Rs. 350."
