Simplification question for IBPS, SBI, RBI, clerk, PO, Railways, SSC

[Q] In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for ?
(a) 475
(b) 275
(c) 375
(d) 175
Solution
Answer    (d)
Explanation
----
Assume the man works overtime for x hours.
Now, working hours in 4 weeks = (5 x 8 x 4) = 160.
160 x 2.40 + x x 3.20 = 432
3.20x = 432 - 384 = 48
x = 15.
Hence, total hours of work = (160 + 15) = 175.
