$6$ men or $5$ women earn ₹ $16,800$ in $4$ days. How much will $4$ women and $6$ men earn in one day?

The correct answer is

₹$7560$

This problem involves calculating the combined daily earnings of a group consisting of both men and women, given their individual earning capacities over a specific period.

Determining Men and Women Earning Rates

The problem states that $6$ men or $5$ women earn a total of ₹ $16,800$ in $4$ days. First, let's find out how much is earned per day.

Total earnings = ₹ $16,800$

Number of days = $4$

Daily earnings = Total earnings / Number of days

Using LaTeX: Daily earnings = $\frac{16,800}{4} = ₹ 4,200$

This means that the combined earning power of $6$ men in one day is ₹ $4,200$, and similarly, the combined earning power of $5$ women in one day is also ₹ $4,200$.

Calculating Individual Daily Earnings

Now, we can find the daily earning rate for one man and one woman.

Earning rate for men:

$6$ men earn ₹ $4,200$ in $1$ day.

Earning per man per day = Daily earnings of 6 men / 6

Using LaTeX: Earning per man per day = $\frac{4,200}{6} = ₹ 700$

Earning rate for women:

$5$ women earn ₹ $4,200$ in $1$ day.

Earning per woman per day = Daily earnings of 5 women / 5

Using LaTeX: Earning per woman per day = $\frac{4,200}{5} = ₹ 840$

Calculating Combined Earnings for the New Group

We need to find how much $4$ women and $6$ men will earn in one day.

Earnings of 4 women in 1 day:

Earnings = Number of women × Earning per woman per day

Using LaTeX: Earnings = $4 \times 700 = ₹ 3,360$

Correction: Earning per woman per day is ₹840.

Using LaTeX: Earnings = $4 \times 840 = ₹ 3,360$

Earnings of 6 men in 1 day:

Earnings = Number of men × Earning per man per day

Using LaTeX: Earnings = $6 \times 700 = ₹ 4,200$

Total combined earnings in 1 day:

Total earnings = Earnings of 4 women + Earnings of 6 men

Using LaTeX: Total earnings = $3,360 + 4,200 = ₹ 7,560$

Therefore, $4$ women and $6$ men will earn ₹ $7,560$ in one day.
