If 6 persons working 8 hours a day earn Rs. 8400 per week, then 9 persons working 6 hours a day will earn per week ?

A. Rs. 8400

B. Rs. 9450

C. Rs. 16200

D. Rs. 16800

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the weekly earning be Rs. x
More persons , More earning (Direct proportion)
Less working hours, Less earning (Direct proportion)
\[\left. \begin{gathered} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{Persons 6}}:9 \hfill \\ {\text{Working hours 8}}:6 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right\}::8400:x\]
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore {\text{ }}6 \times 8 \times x = 9 \times 6 \times 8400 \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{\left( {9 \times 6 \times 8400} \right)}}{{\left( {6 \times 8} \right)}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = 9450 \cr} $$
