Correct Answer: 1,000


Solution : Let the daily wage of A as Wa and the daily wage of B as Wb.
Given that A's efficiency is 5 times that of B's.
⇒ Wa = 5 × Wb
Also, given that A and B together received a total of Rs. 18,000 for 15 days.
⇒ 15 × (Wa + Wb) = 18,000
Substituting Wa = 5 × Wb into the equation,
⇒ 15 × (5 × Wb + Wb) = 18,000
⇒ Wb  = Rs. 200
Therefore, the daily wage of A is:
⇒ Wa = 5 × Wb = 5 × 200 = Rs. 1,000
Hence, the correct answer is 1,000.
