Solution : Given: 4 Women and 7 men earn a total of INR 11,480 in 7 days. 10 women and 17 men earn a total of INR 36,360 in 9 days. 1-day income of 4 women and 7 men is $\frac{11480}{7} = 1640$ 1-day income of 10 women and 17 men is $\frac{36360}{9} = 4040$ Let the women's earnings be $x$ and the men's be $y$. So, $4x + 7y = 1640$ ------------------(1) and $10x + 17y = 4040$ ------------------(2) Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1) in equation (2), we get, $10\times(\frac{1640 - 7y}{4}) + 17y = 4040$ $⇒16400 - 70y + 68y = 16160$ $⇒16400 - 16160 = 2y$ $⇒2y = 240$ $⇒y = 120$ Putting the value of y in equation (1), $4x + 7 × 120 = 1640$ $⇒4x + 840 = 1640$ $⇒x = 200$ 11 women's income in 1 day is 11 × 200 = INR 2,200 So, 11 women's income in 13 days is 2200 × 13 = INR 28,600 9 men's income in 1 day is 9 × 120 = INR 1,080 So, 9 men's income in 13 days is 1080 × 13 = INR 14,040 The total income of 11 women and 9 men in 13 days is = 28600 + 14040 = INR 42,640. Hence, the correct answer is 42,640.
