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

E. None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

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