Solution

To calculate Maaz's earnings for the week, we need to consider the wage rate for each day.

  1. Monday: Maaz worked for 8 hours. So, his earnings for Monday will be 8 hours * Rs 215/hour = Rs 1720.

  2. Tuesday: Maaz worked for 7 hours. So, his earnings for Tuesday will be 7 hours * Rs 215/hour = Rs 1505.

  3. Wednesday: Maaz worked for 9 hours. But the wage rate is doubled after 8 hours. So, his earnings for Wednesday will be (8 hours * Rs 215/hour) + (1 hour * 2 * Rs 215/hour) = Rs 1720 + Rs 430 = Rs 2150.

  4. Thursday: Maaz worked for 10 hours. So, his earnings for Thursday will be (8 hours * Rs 215/hour) + (2 hours * 2 * Rs 215/hour) = Rs 1720 + Rs 860 = Rs 2580.

  5. Friday: Maaz worked for 8 hours. So, his earnings for Friday will be 8 hours * Rs 215/hour = Rs 1720.

  6. Saturday: The wage rate is tripled. So, his earnings for Saturday will be 8 hours * 3 * Rs 215/hour = Rs 5160.

Adding up all these amounts, Maaz's total earnings for the week will be Rs 1720 + Rs 1505 + Rs 2150 + Rs 2580 + Rs 1720 + Rs 5160 = Rs 14835.
