the job.
The worker is paid the agreed rate per hour for the time spent there on

standard time or allowed time ,P = fixed percentage on the time saved
given to worker

6(b). If standard time for a job is 20 hours and rate per hour is Rs. 5 . Calculate
the wages to be paid for who finishes job in 16 hours under Rowan's plan.
Ans.
Standard time S = 20 hours
Hourly rate R = Rs 5 / -
Actual time taken T = 16 hours
Earnings of a wroker E = R . T + [( S -T) / S ] R.T
= 5 x 16 + [20 - 16 / 20 ] 5 x 16
= 80 + 16 = Rs 96 /-
He earns Rs . 96 /- for 16 hours

A is compared wilh D and suppose D is better.
Next.
B is compared with C and suppose C is better.
B is compared with D and suppose D is better.
C is compared with D and suppose C is better.
