Question

a labour engaged for 20 days on the condition that he will receive regular. 60 for each day he works and he will be fined rs.5 for each day he is absent .if he received rs.745 in all for how many days he remained absent ?

Answer 1

Answer :

Labour receives everyday Rs 60.

Labour works for total 20 days.

So total earning of labour if he works on all 20 days = 60×20 = Rs 1200.

But labour receives total 745 in 20 days,which means he was absent on few days.

When labour is absent,he does not receive his Rs 60 for a day as well as he is fined Rs 5.

So when a labour is absent,he will miss 65 Rs a day on that absent day.

Total missed money = 1200 - 745 = Rs 455.

So the no of absent days = 455/65 = 7

●So if a labour is absent on total 7 days,he receives total Rs 745 in 20 days.

Answer 2

total salary of 20 days = 1200
salary obtained =745
absent loss/day = 60(work payment)+5(fine)
loss = 1200 - 745 = 455
no. of absent days = 455 / 65 = 7 
no. of days worked = 13
hence Total number of days absented = 7 .................answer
