Download Solution PDFGiven:
The total monthly salary of 4 men and 2 women is ₹46,000.
A woman earns ₹500 more than a man.
Formula used:
Let the monthly salary of a man be ₹x.
Then, the monthly salary of a woman = ₹(x + 500).
Total salary of 4 men and 2 women = 4x + 2(x + 500).
Calculation:
4x + 2(x + 500) = 46,000
⇒ 4x + 2x + 1000 = 46,000
⇒ 6x + 1000 = 46,000
⇒ 6x = 46,000 - 1000
⇒ 6x = 45,000
⇒ x = 7,500
Monthly salary of a woman = x + 500
⇒ 7,500 + 500 = 8,000
∴ The correct answer is option (3).
