The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will first determine the total work done by the six men in a week and then find out how much work the nine men can do in a week. Finally, we will calculate their earnings based on the work done. ### Step 1: Calculate the total work done by 6 men in a week. Given: - Number of men = 6 - Hours worked per day = 8 - Days worked in a week = 7 (assuming a week has 7 days) Total work done by 6 men in a week can be calculated as: \[ \text{Total Work} = \text{Number of Men} \times \text{Hours per Day} \times \text{Days per Week} \] \[ \text{Total Work} = 6 \times 8 \times 7 = 336 \text{ man-hours} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the earning per man-hour. From the problem, we know that 6 men earn Rs. 840 for 336 man-hours of work. Thus, the earning per man-hour is: \[ \text{Earning per man-hour} = \frac{\text{Total Earnings}}{\text{Total Work}} \] \[ \text{Earning per man-hour} = \frac{840}{336} = 2.5 \text{ Rs/man-hour} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total work done by 9 men in a week. Now, we need to calculate the work done by 9 men working 6 hours a day for 7 days. \[ \text{Total Work by 9 men} = 9 \times 6 \times 7 = 378 \text{ man-hours} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the earnings for 9 men. Now, we can find out how much 9 men will earn for 378 man-hours of work. \[ \text{Total Earnings} = \text{Total Work} \times \text{Earning per man-hour} \] \[ \text{Total Earnings} = 378 \times 2.5 = 945 \text{ Rs} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, 9 men working 6 hours a day will earn Rs. 945 per week. ---
