Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original duration of the tour be x days.
Total expenditure on tour =Rs.360
Expenditure per day =Rs.
x
360
Duration of the extended tour =(x+4) days
Expenditure per day according to new schedule =Rs.
x+4
360
It is given that the daily expenses are cut down by Rs. 3
∴
x
360
−
x+4
360
=3
⇒
x(x+4)
360(x+4)−360x
=3⇒
x(x+4)
360x+1440−360x
=3
⇒

+4x
1440

+4x=480⇒x

+4x−480=0
⇒x

+24x−20x−480=0
⇒x(x+24)−20(x+24)⇒(x−20)(x+24)=0
⇒x−20=0orx+24=0⇒x=20,x=−24
But the number of days cannot be negative. So, x=20
- Hence, the original duration of the tour was 20 days.
