Solution

Sure, let's break this down:

  1. First, let's calculate the total earnings from regular work in a week. There are 5 working days in a week and the man works for 6 hours each day. So, he works for a total of 5*6 = 30 hours in a week.

  2. He earns Rs. 2.5 per hour for regular work. So, in a week, he earns 2.5*30 = Rs. 75 from regular work.

  3. In 4 weeks, his total earnings from regular work would be 4*75 = Rs. 300.

  4. Now, the man earned a total of Rs. 378 in 4 weeks. If we subtract his earnings from regular work, we can find out how much he earned from overtime. So, his overtime earnings are 378 - 300 = Rs. 78.

  5. He earns Rs. 3.25 per hour for overtime. So, the number of overtime hours he worked is 78/3.25 = 24 hours.

  6. Therefore, in 4 weeks, the man worked a total of 30*4 (regular hours) + 24 (overtime hours) = 120 + 24 = 144 hours.
