Question

A labourer was engaged for 30 days on the condition he will get ₹60 for each day he works and will be fined ₹10 for each day he is absent if he gets ₹1700 at the end of the month for how days did he remain absent

Answer 1

Answer:

10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

If he had worked for 30 days then he would get

30×60= ₹1800.

But he got only ₹1700

so 1800-1700= 10

Therefore he was absent 10 days

Answer 2

★⋆ANSWER⋆★

2 days, labourer was absent.

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒  Let number of days labourer will be x days

⇒  Then number of days he was absent = (30−x)days

⇒  Amount for days he worked =60x

⇒  Amount cut for days he was absent =10(30−x) = 300−10x

According to the question,

=60x−(300−10x)=1700

=60x−300+10x=1700

=50x−300=1700

50x=1400

x=501400

∴  x = 28days

⇒  Absent days =30−28 =2 days

∴  A labourer remain absent for 2 days.
