Question

A man is hired as a typist for 30 days he receives rupees 175 for each day he works and has to pay rupees 50 for each day he remains absent if he receives Rs 4125 in all for how many days does he remain absent

Answer 1

Per day salary=175 rupees
no. of days=30
so total salary= 5250 rupees

But he get =Rs 4125
has to pay for when he is absent = Rs 50
so deducted salary=5250-4125=Rs 1125

so no. of days he remain absent=1125/50=22 and a half day he is absent

answer=22 and a half day

Answer 2

a man hired for 30days

one day salary is 175 rupees

so total salary for 30 days is 30*175 = 5250

he has to pay 50 for each day he takes leave or absent

he receives 4125 of total

so 5250 - 4125 = 1125

if he takes one day leave he has to pay 50 and 175 will not be given

so one day leave = 50+175 = 225 rupees loss

so, 1125/225 = 5

he takes 5day leave
