Question

A man engaged a servant on a condition that he would pay him Rs. 90 and also give him a turban after a service of one year. He served for only 9 months and received a turban and Rs. 65. What is the price of turban? (in Rs.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual wages=turban+Rs.90

Let value of turban be x.

Annual wages=90+x

9 months is 3/4 of a year.

So, 3/4 of Annual wages=turban+Rs. 65

3/4 (90+x) = x+65

135/2 + 3x/4 = x+65

x- 3x/4 = 135/2 - 65

(4x-3x)/4=(135-130)/2

x/4=5/2

x=5/2*4=10

Therefore, the price of the turban is Rs. 10
