Solution

To solve this problem, we need to first understand that the work done by 8 girls is equal to the work done by 11 kids. This means that the ratio of work done by a girl to a kid is 11:8.

Now, we know that all of them together earn Rs.380. This amount is divided according to the work done by each of them. So, the girls' share of the total amount is calculated as follows:

  1. Calculate the total units of work: 8 units (for girls) + 11 units (for kids) = 19 units
  2. Calculate the value of each unit: Rs.380 / 19 units = Rs.20 per unit
  3. Calculate the girls' wages: 8 units (for girls) * Rs.20 per unit = Rs.160

So, the girls' wages are Rs.160.
