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 ?

A) 160 B) 175
C) 180 D) 195
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 175

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.

A) 2023 B) 2027
C) 2029 D) 2022
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2029

Explanation:

How to find the years which have the same Calendars : 

 Leap year calendar repeats every 28 years. 

Here 28 is distributed as 6 + 11 + 11.

  

Rules:

a) If given year is at 1st position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 6.

 b) If given year is at 2nd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11.

 c) If given year is at 3rd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11

 

Now, the given year is 2018

We know that 2016 is a Leap year.

2016  2017  2018  2019  2020

 LY    1st     2nd    3rd    LY

Here 2018 is at 2 nd position after the Leap year.

According to rule ( b) the calendar of 2018 is repeated for the year is 2018 + 11 = 2029.
