Answer 1

Given : A man got 300 salary for a month.

Let us consider month contain 30 days .

If man is absent then he has to pay Rs. 5 per day .

Let the man have worked for x days and absented himself on (30-x) days.

So his earnings was 20 x -5(30-x) = 300

20x -150 +5x = 300

25 x = 300 +150

25x = 450

Therefore x = 18.

So He worked for 18 days and was absent for 12 days.
