A labourer was appointed by a contractor on the condition that he would be paid ₹ 75 for each day of his work but would be fined at the rate of ₹ 15 per day for his absence, apart from losing his wages, After 20 days, the contractor paid the labourer ₹ 1140. The number of days the labourer abstained from work was
-
- ₹ 3
- ₹ 5
- ₹ 4
- ₹ 2
Correct Option: C
Total salary for 20 days
= ₹ (75 × 20) = ₹ 1500
Actual salary received = ₹ 1140
Difference = ₹ (1500 – 1140) = ₹ 360
Money deducted for 1 day’s absence from work
= ₹ (15 + 75) = ₹ 90
∴ Number of days he was
| absent = | = 4 days | 90 |
