    Total commission = New rate after increase x Total hours in the week.

    Correct Option: B

    Average rate per hr = 240/40 = Rs6/hr
    In last week, his rate per hour increases by 50%,
    so in the last week, his hourly rate = Rs.6 x (1+50%)= Rs.9
    Total hour spent in final week = 60h
    ∴ Total commission = 60h x Rs.9/hr = Rs.540

    From question,
    Food items = 40%
    Clothes + conveyance = 50% of 60% = 30%
    ⇒ Remaining amount = (100 - 40 - 30)% = 30%
    ∴ 1/3 of 30% = 19200
    ⇒ 10% = 19200
    ∴ 100% = Rs. 192000

    Correct Option: C

    From question,
    Food items = 40%
    Clothes + conveyance = 50% of 60% = 30%
    ⇒ Remaining amount = (100 - 40 - 30)% = 30%
    ∴ 1/3 of 30% = 19200
    ⇒ 10% = 19200
    ∴ 100% = Rs. 192000

    So his monthly income = 192000 / 12 = 16000

    ∵ J = 40% of A =2A/5
    ⇒ P = 1/4 x 2A/5 = A/10
    ⇒ A/10 - 200 = 600

    Correct Option: C

    ∵ J = 40% of A =2A/5
    ⇒ P = 1/4 x 2A/5 = A/10
    ⇒ A/10 - 200 = 600
    ⇒ A/10 = 800
    ∴ A = Rs. 8000

    Suppose there are 8y questions were asked apart from the 41 question.Then
    37 + 5y/41 + 8y = 80% = 4/5
    ⇒ 185 + 25y = 164 + 32y
    ⇒ 7y = 21
    ⇒ y = 3

    Correct Option: B

    Suppose there are 8y questions were asked apart from the 41 question.Then
    37 + 5y/41 + 8y = 80% = 4/5
    ⇒ 185 + 25y = 164 + 32y
    ⇒ 7y = 21
    ⇒ y = 3
    ∴ Total no. of questions = 41 + 8 x 3 = 65.
