(1) The employee's regular hourly rate is $10.
(2) Last week the employee worked a total of 54 hours but did not work more than 8 hours on any day.

• A. Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
• B. Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
• C. Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
• D. Each statement alone is sufficient.
• E. Statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.

Answer 1

The correct option is E Statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.

Let regular payment be x/hr

than

for working 40 hrs a week $\Rightarrow$

we earns $=40\times 1.5\times x=60x$ Rs

on sunday $\Rightarrow \frac{40}{6}hrs$

we earns on sunday $=\frac{40}{6}\times 2x=\frac{40}{3}x$

Hourly rate $=10Rs$

then net income $=60\times 10+\frac{40}{3}\times 10$

$=\frac{2200}{3}Rs$

sufficient alone

But $2^{nd}$ enactment won't give

any rate

$\therefore$ together both sufficient not single
