Direction: Vivek works ‘p’ hours a day and rests ‘b’ hours a day. This pattern continues for 1 week, with an exactly opposite pattern next week, and so on for six weeks. Every 7th week he has a different pattern. When he works longer than he rests, his wage per hour is 50% more than what he earns per hour when he rests longer than he works. The following are his daily working hours for the weeks numbered 1 to 19. (A week consists of six days and a month consists of 4 weeks)

From the 13th week:
In 13th and 15th week: Vivek works for 6 hours and rests for 4 hours
? He works longer than he rests, his wage per hour is 50% more than what he earns per hour when he rests longer than he works;
∴ He will get Rs. (360 × 1.5 = 540) per hour for the work and Rs. 50 will be deducted for every hour of rest.
In 14th and 16th week: Vivek works for 4 hours and rests for 6 hours
∴ He will get Rs. 360 per hour for the work and Rs. 50 will be deducted for every hour of rest.
∴ Total payment for the 4th month = 2 × 540 × 6 × 6 + 2 × 360 × 4 × 6 – 2 × 50 × 4 × 6 – 2 × 50 × 6 × 6
⇒ 38880 + 17280 – 2400 – 3600
⇒ 56160 – 6000
⇒ Rs. 50160
