James worked for 41 hours hence he earned 40*x+1*2x=42x dollars;
We know that Harry also earned the same 42x dollars, out of which he earned 30x dollars for the first 30 hours plus 12x additional dollars. Since for each additional hour he gets 1.5x dollars then he worked for 12x/1.5x=8 additional hours, so Harry worked for total of 30+8=38 hours.
Answer: D.
