Total Working hours in a month for A = 160 hours

Let number of working days for A and B is '2x' and '3x' respectively.

Average working hours of B in a day = 'P' hours

Average working hours of E in a day = 'P + 5' hours

Number of working days for C = (3x + 1)

Let average working hours in day for A and D is 'y' each.

Number of working days for D = 2y

Total Working hours for D = 2y * y = 160 * (5/4)

2y² = 200

y² = 100

y = 10

For employee A:

2x * 10 = 160

x = 8

Let total working hours for B and C is '6z' and '10z' respectively.

Employee D:

Basic salary = 250 * 200 = Rs.50000

DA = 40% of 50000 = Rs.20000

Basic salary including DA = 50000 + 20000 = Rs.70000

Employer contribution in EPF = 12% of 70000 = Rs.8400

Employer contribution in EPF = 12% of 70000 - 8.33% of 15000 = 8400 - 1249.5 = Rs.7150.5

Total EPF = 8400 + 7150.5 = 15550.5

Employee C:

Total EPF = 15550.5 + 1200 = Rs.16750.5

Employee contribution + Employer contribution = 16750.5

Let Employee contribution = 'C'

C + C - 8.33% of 15000 = 16750.5

2C = 16750.5 + 1249.5

C = 9000

Basic salary including DA = 9000 * (100/12) = Rs.75000

Let basic salary without DA = M

Case 1:

M + 40% of M = 75000

M = 53571 (Approx)

250 * Total working hours = 53571

Total working hours for C = 214 (Approx)

Average working hours in a day for C = 214/25 = 8.57 (Invalid. Since, average working hours can't be less than 9).

Case 2:

M + 20% of M = 75000

M = Rs.62500

250 * Total working hours = 62500

Total working hours for C = 250

Average working hours in a day for C = 250/25 = 10

Total working hours for B = 60% of 250 = 150

Average working hours in a day for B = P = 150/24 = 6.25

Average working hours in a day for E = (P + 5) = 11.25

Required average = (10 + 6.25 + 10 + 10 + 11.25)/5 = 9.5 hours
