If the wages of 12 men for 17 days is Rs.34000, find the approximate wages of 16 men for 18 days.
daily wage/man = 34000/( (12)(17) )
= 500/3
so for 16 men for 18 days
wages = (500/3)(16)(18) = 48000
To find the approximate wages of 16 men for 18 days, we can use the concept of direct proportionality.
First, let's calculate the wages of 1 man for 1 day.
Wages of 12 men for 17 days = Rs. 34000
So, wages of 1 man for 1 day = Rs. 34000 / (12 * 17)
Now, we can use this information to find the approximate wages of 16 men for 18 days.
Wages of 1 man for 1 day = Rs. 34000 / (12 * 17)
Wages of 16 men for 1 day = (Wages of 1 man for 1 day) * 16
Wages of 16 men for 18 days = (Wages of 16 men for 1 day) * 18
Substituting the values, we get:
Wages of 16 men for 1 day = (34000 / (12 * 17)) * 16
Wages of 16 men for 18 days = ((34000 / (12 * 17)) * 16) * 18
Now, you can calculate the approximate wages of 16 men for 18 days using the above equation.
