A man engaged a servant on a condition that he will pay Rs 90 and also give him a bag at the end of the year. He served for 9 months and was given a turban and Rs 65. So the price of turban is
i. Rs 10
ii. Rs 19
iii. Rs 0
iv. Rs 55
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- let the cost of turban be y,and monthly salary be x .then
1 condition : 12x=90 +y(90 rps and bag will be given at the end of year)
2 condition : 9x=65 +y
x=8.33
now putting the value of x in1 condition then,the y=10

- Because the servant didn't serve the full year, he didn't get the bag.
The servant only served 9 months of the year, which is 9 months out of 12, or 9/12 of a year, which is 3/4 of the year.
So the man should have paid the servant 3/4 of 90, which is 75.
Instead, he paid 65 and a turban. The turban must make up for the missing money i.e Rs 10 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(6)
- 12x=90+T
9x=65+T
solve the equation and get x=25/3
sub value x in any one equation 9*25/3=65+T
T=75-65=10;

- 90+x== 12 months => (90+x)/12 = 1 month
65+x== 9 months
=> 65+x=9((90+x)/12)
=> x=10 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- NAGENDRABABU..it is for you
just substract the both the equations to get 100..
u dont need to ask this man... - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
