He worked 43 hours to earn Rs. 23250

His basic pay is Rs. 18000 for a basic 36 hours a week. His salary is

Rs. 23250. This proves that he has worked extra time. So the amount earned in the extra hours equals Rs. 23250 - Rs. 18000 = Rs.5250.

Amount per hour earned in basic pay = 18000/36 = Rs.500 a hour.

∴ Amount per hour earned in extra hours = 1.5 x 500 = 750 per hour.

So number of hours he worked in extra time = Rs.5250/750 = 7 hours.

Thus total number of hours = 36 + 7 = 43 hours.
