Question

An employer gives rs.26 per day to an employee for duty and deducts rs.7 per day for his absence from the duty.If after 56 days ,the employee receives rs.829,for how many days was the employee absent?

Answer 1

His Per day pay = Rs. 26 & Total pay employee got = Rs. 829.

Total pay he gets if he did not remain idle a single day,

= 26 *56 = Rs.1456.

He Forfeits or fined = 1456 - 829 = Rs. 627.

Per day he Forfeits Rs. 7. Means per idle day he looses = 26 +7 = Rs. 33.

So, Total idle days = 627/33 = 19 days.

Alternatively,

Let he works for X days and remain idle for (56 - X).

Now, According to question,

X*26 - 7 *(56 -X)= 829.

26X +7X - 392 = 829.

33X = 829 + 392 = 1221.

X = 37 days.

No of days r

emain Idle = 56 -37 - 19 days.

Hope this answer would help you..........
