Let the daily wages of Ramu, Shamu and Kalu be Rs. X, Rs. Y and Rs. Z respectively

⇒ X + Y + Z = 700     ---- (1)

⇒ X + Y = 500     ---- (2)

⇒ Y + Z = 450     ---- (3)

Substituting eq. (2) in (1),

⇒ 500 + Z = 700

⇒ Z = Rs. 200

Substituting eq. (3) in (1),

⇒ 450 + X = 700

⇒ X = Rs. 250

Substituting in eq. (2),

⇒ Y = 500 – 250 = Rs. 250

∴ Ratio of Shamu and Kalu’s one day’s work = Ratio of their daily wages = Y ? Z = 250 ? 200 = 5 ? 4
