Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Rate of earning of the man $ =\frac{2000}{50}=Rs\text{. 40 per hour} $
Rate of earning for additional hours
$ =40\times \frac{3}{2}=Rs.,60,per,hour $
Let the man has to work for n additional hours. Then,
$ 2000+n\times 60=2300 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ n\times 60=300 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ n=5,h $
