There are 100 wine glasses. I offered my servant to 3 paise for every broken glass to be delivered safely and forfeit 9 paise for every glass broken at the end of day. He received Rs.2.40 .how many glass did he break?

100 wine glasses so,3*100=300.if a glass is broken then 9paisa is deducted + he will also not get the 3paisa he was getting for safe delivery so in total he will loss 9+3=12paisa for 1glass broken. he gets 240paisa i.e. 60paisa loss so,total no. of glass = 60/12 = 5.(ans)
