The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To find the average daily revenue on weekdays, we can follow these steps: 

  1. First, calculate the total revenue for the 30 days period where the average revenue is Rs.10,000 per day:
    Total Revenue = 30 days × Rs. 10,000/day = Rs. 300,000
  2. Determine the total revenue earned on weekends. Given that the average weekend revenue is Rs.20,000 per day over 8 days:
    Total Weekend Revenue = 8 days × Rs. 20,000/day = Rs. 160,000
  3. Now, compute the total revenue for the weekdays by subtracting the total weekend revenue from the total revenue over the 30 period:
    Total Weekday Revenue = Total Revenue - Total Weekend Revenue
    = Rs. 300,000 - Rs. 160,000 = Rs. 140,000
  4. Finally, find the average daily revenue on weekdays. There are 22 weekdays in the 30 day period (30 days - 8 weekend days):
    Average Daily Weekday Revenue = Total Weekday Revenue / Number of Weekdays
    = Rs. 140,000 / 22 days ≈ Rs. 6364

Thus, the average daily revenue on weekdays is approximately Rs. 6364.
