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.
