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.
