Mark works 40 Hours - 1 Week
Therefore for 50 Weeks - 40 * 50 Hours of work completed
= 2000 Hours completed last year by Mark.
Now for 2000 Hours, he got $20,000,
Applying Unitary Method,
=> 2000 Hours --- $20,000
=> 1 Hour --- $10
This year he will be given $0.50 more per hour than the previous year,
Hence, this year
1 Hour --- $10.5
So, 2000 Hours --- $ (2000 *10.5)
=> $21,000 for the year
Answer: D
