Answer: 25 men

Solution;

45 women work for 48 days get Rs.15525

45 women work for 1 day get Rs 15525/48

1 woman one day paymen=15525/48* 45

Daily wage of 1 woman=Rs.115/16

Daily wage of 1 man= 2* daily wages of 1 woman

= 2* 115/16= Rs 115/8

Required number of men= Rs 5750*8/115*16= 25 men

A+B+C earns daily= 1350/9=Rs 150

A+C earn an amount of Rs 94 in a day

B+C earn an amount of Rs 76 in a day

C per day earning = (A+C)+(B+C)-(A+B+C)

Required number of men= Rs 13500/ 45*30 = 10 men
