• ans 675
  total pieces = 136
  but for 136 pieces she has to cut the cloth 135 times
  since for 135 pieces the time taken should be 135*5=675 seconds

• Ans = 680
  Expl = Consider X as total piece of clothes to cut.(i.e.) X=136
  Time taken to cut single yard of cloth, Y=5 seconds.(i.e.) Y=5
  Time take to cut total clothes = X * Y
  = 136*5
  = 680
