Answers and Explanations
Answer 1. (B)
From the first week data we can arrive at the following work pattern of Jetha lal for the 1st month.
Thus his total wage = (600+120+600+120) = Rs.1440
Answer 2. (C)
Let us compile the data for second, third and fourth month.
Total wage for 1st month = Rs.1440
Total wage for 2nd month = (840+180+840+180) = Rs.2040
Total wage for 3rd month = (720+240+720+240) = Rs.1920
Total wage for 4th month = (960+960) = Rs.1920
Total wage for the 4 months = (1440+2040+1920+1920) = 7320
Hence the average salary = 7320/4 = Rs.1830
Answer 3. (D)
Using the above data, we can revise the wage compilation for the third month as given below:
So now his third month age = (780+120+780+120) = Rs.1800.
Previously he used to earn Rs.1920 in the third month.
Hence change in Jetha lal’s salary for the 3rd month = (1920 – 1800) = Rs.120.
Answer 4. (D)
For the fourth month, the new wage compilation will be as given below:
So now his total wage for the 4th month = (2400+2400-240-240) = Rs.4320.
Since the calculations for the first two months are made as per the old scheme of things, this has already been computed.
Total wage for 1st month = Rs.1440
Total wage for 2nd month = Rs.2040
Calculation for the third and fourth month are as per new calculations and they are :
Total wage for 3rd month = Rs.1800
Total wage for 4th month = Rs.4320
So total salary for the four months = (1440+2040+1800+4320) = Rs.9600.
