(B) Let the number of men,women,and children be $M, W,$ and $C$ respectively.Given $M + W + C = 18$.The ratio of total wages is $18: 10: 12$. Let the total wages be $18k, 10k,$ and $12k$ respectively,where $18k + 10k + 12k = 4000 \Rightarrow 40k = 4000 \Rightarrow k = 100$.Total wages for men $= 1800$,women $= 1000$,children $= 1200$.The ratio of individual wages is $6: 5: 3$. Let individual wages be $6y, 5y,$ and $3y$.The number of people is given by $\frac{	ext{Total Wages}}{	ext{Individual Wage}}$.$M = \frac{1800}{6y} = \frac{300}{y}$,$W = \frac{1000}{5y} = \frac{200}{y}$,$C = \frac{1200}{3y} = \frac{400}{y}$.Sum of people: $\frac{300+200+400}{y} = 18 \Rightarrow \frac{900}{y} = 18 \Rightarrow y = 50$.Individual wage of a woman $= 5y = 5 	imes 50 = Rs. 250$.
