Could you help me with this?

Q178.The salary of a laborer is in direct proportion to the number of toys he makes and the number of hrs he spends on the job. What would be the salary of the laborer if he works for 8 hrs and creates 15 toys.
1) He gets $20 for creating 3 toys in 1 hour
2) He gets $45 for creating 8 toys in 2 hours

1) He gets $20 for creating 3 toys in 1 hour
2) He gets $45 for creating 8 toys in 2 hours
Salary = x*T*H (N = no. of toys he makes T=no.of hrs he spends on job)

St 1:-
20 = x*3*1
x= 20/3 sufficient.

(Dont carry over the 1st statement over here)

St 2:-
45 = x*8*2
Hence sufficient.

Answer-"D"
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
