Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 768

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

5 carpenters can earn Rs 360 in 6 days working 9 hours a day.

How much can 5 carpenters earn in 1 day if they work for 9 hours a day:

6 days — 360 Rs

1 day — ?

(1 x 360)/6 = Rs 60

How much can 1 carpenter earn in 1 days if they work for 9 hours a day:

5 carpenters — Rs 60

1 carpenter — ?

(1 x 60)/5 = Rs 12

How much can 1 carpenter earn for 1 hour:

9 hours — Rs 12

1 hour — ?

(1 x 12)/9 = Rs 4/3

Now,

How much can 1 carpenter earn in 6 hours:

1 hour — Rs 4/3

6 hours — ?

= (6 x 4/3)/1 = Rs 8

How much can 1 carpenter earn in 12 days working for 6 hours a day:

1 day(6 hours) — Rs 8

12 days — ?

= (12 x 8)/1 = Rs 96

How much can 8 carpenters earn in 12 days working for 6 hours a day:

1 Carpenter — Rs 96

8 Carpenters — ?

= 8 x 96 = Rs 768
