Q.

In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for ?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Suppose the man works overtime for x hours. Now, working hours in 4 weeks = (5 x 8 x 4) = 160. Therefore, 160 * 2.40 + x * 3.20 = 432 => 3.20x = 432 - 384 = 48 => x = 15. Hence, total hours of work = (160 + 15) = 175.
