Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT DILR Question from Analytical Reasoning question

(b) According to conditions salary for first 3 months = 1440 + 20 40 + 2400 = Rs 5880

Salary for 4th month (13th to 16th week)

= 2(25 X 8 X 6) + 2(0 8 X 5 X 6)

Total salary for 16 weeks = 5880 + 1920 = Rs 7800
