    Rs.6

    Correct Answer

    Rs.7

    Incorrect Answer

    Rs.8

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    - The ratio of men, women, and children working on the construction site is 9:4:1.

    - Since 60 women are working, let's express the number of each group in terms of the ratio:

    - If 4 units of ratio = 60 women, then 1 unit = 15.

    - So, number of men = 9 units = 135.

    - Number of children = 1 unit = 15.

    - The wages ratio for men: women: children is 8:5:3.

    - Let the daily wage for men, women, and children be 8x, 5x, and 3x, respectively.

    - Total daily wages for all = Rs. 2,850.

    - Equation: \(135(8x) + 60(5x) + 15(3x) = 2850\).

    - Solving: \(1080x + 300x + 45x = 2850\) leads to \(1425x = 2850\).

    - Thus, \(x = 2\).

    - Daily wage for a child = \(3x = 3 \times 2 = Rs. 6\).
