Mr. Bhaskar is on tour and he has Rs. 360 for his expenses. If he exceeds his tour by 4 days, he must cut down his daily expenses by Rs. 3. for how many days is Mr. Bhaskar on tour?

Read Solution (Total 1)

If his tour is for x days and he is spending Rs y per day, then
xy= 360 x= 360/y or y= 360/x
(x+4)*(y-3)=360
or
xy +4y -3x-12 =360
or
4y-3x-12=0
4*360/x - 3x -12=0

solving it, we get x=20
