2b+1g=1/5=>10b+5g=1---------(1)
1b+2g=1/6=>6b+12g=1---------(2)
from (1)&(2)
10b+5g=6b+12g
4b=7g
b:g=7:4
but above ratio is reverse b:g=4:7
wages of the girls=(4*28)/7
=4*4=16

B. $16

Let the 1 day work of a boy=b and a girl=g, then
2b + g = 1/5 ---(i) and
b + 2g = 1/6 ---(ii)
On solving (i) & (ii), b=7/90, g=2/45
As payment of work will be in proportion to capacity of work and a boy is paid $28/week, so a girl will be paid 28*(2/45)/(7/90) = 16 $.

5(2b+1g)=6(1b+2g)
4b=7g
G=4/7g
G=4/7 * 28
G=16$ per week

(2b+g)5=(b+2g)6
4b=7g
b/g=7/4
ratio of their efficiency is b:g=7:4
rate paid to boy is 28 i,e 7*4
then for girl 4*4=16

2B+G-->1/5 .....(1)
B+2G-->1/6 .....(2)
By simplifying (1) & (2),
==>B : G
7/90 : 2/45
1/4 : 1/7
1 : 4/7 ==>(4/7)*28 = 16
