Solution
Salary of a farmworker in Haryana for 1 day = Rs 135
It is given that Neelam works for 212 months in the farm.
Number of days in 1 month = 30
Number of days in half a month = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
∴ Number of days in 2 1/2 months = 30 + 30 + 15 = 75
Now, Neelam’s earnings for working in the farm for 75 days
= Rs 135 × 75
= Rs 10,125
Working:
135
× 75
675
9450
10125
Thus, Neelam will earn Rs 10,125 in 2 1/2 months.
