D. 97

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The total wages earned during the 15 days that the worker worked ,
= 15 × 90 = Rs. 1350
The total wages earned during the first 7 days = 7 × 87 = Rs. 609
The total wages earned during the last 7 days = 7 × 92 = Rs. 644

Total wages earned during the 15 days,
= wages during first 7 days + wage on 8^th day + wages during the last 7 days.

1350 = 609 + wage on 8^th day + 644
wage on 8^th day = 1350 - 609 - 644 = Rs. 97
