Given:

A company employed 700 men and 300 women and the average wage was Rs. 450 per day.

A man got Rs. 50 more than a woman.

Calculation:

Let the wages of each man and woman be (x + 50) and x respectively.

Using mixture and allegation, 

​According to the question,

(450 - x) : (x - 400) = 700 : 300

Taking ( -) common 

(x - 450) : (400 - x) = 700 : 300

⇒ (x - 450) : (400 - x) = 7 : 3

⇒ 3x - 1350 = 2800 - 7x

⇒ 10x = 4150

⇒ x = 415

∴ The daily wage of the women is Rs. 415.
