Mihir works as a freelance copy editor for two digital content agencies, PrimeWrite and TextCraft. He edits articles submitted by both agencies each day and is paid per article. The payment rate depends on how many articles he edits for that particular agency on a given day; both agencies follow the same payment structure, i.e., if less than three articles edited in a day then the pay per article is 50 rupees, if more than 3 and less than 8 articles edited in a day then the pay per article is 75 rupees per day, if more than 7 and less than 11 articles edited per day then the pay per article is 100 rupees, if more than 10 articles were edited in a day then the pay per article is 130 rupees. The following details are known about the articles he edited from Monday to Saturday in a particular week:
a. He edited a total of 11 and 14 articles on Monday and Wednesday respectively. His total earnings on Wednesday were Rs. 475 more than on Monday. He earned a total of Rs. 1,250 on Friday.
b. He edited a total of 10 and 16 articles on Thursday and Saturday respectively. Over the six days, Mihir edited 30 articles for PrimeWrite and 40 articles for TextCraft.
c. He edited the same number of articles for PrimeWrite on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. The number of articles he edited for PrimeWrite and TextCraft on Wednesday is equal to the number of articles he edited for TextCraft on Thursday and Saturday, in any order.
d. Every day, Mihir edited at least one article for each of the two agencies.
Can anyone help me solve this ??

| Day | PW | TC | Total Articles | Earnings | | Monday | 6 | 5 | 11 | ₹825 | | Tuesday | 2 | 3 | 5 | ₹325 | | Wednesday | 4 | 10 | 14 | ₹1,300 | | Thursday | 6 | 4 | 10 | ₹750 | | Friday | 6 | 8 | 14 | ₹1,250 | | Saturday | 6 | 10 | 16 | ₹1,450 | | Total | 30I 40 I 70 I 5900 I think there’s a small error in the question. The rate for exactly 3 articles isn’t mentioned, and the payment slabs are a bit unclear. Also, the total earnings come to ₹5,900, not ₹4,900. Can someone confirm if I’ve missed something?
