Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- Ans: 19.5 days
Initial hypothesis : 13+x days (where 13 rained days , x not rained days)
All the 13 days can not contribute to evening or morning.
So these 13 days should contribute to both morning and evening count.
Second Hypothesis: At-least half a day should go non-enjoyed during theses 13 days.
So effectively 13 days contribute to either 6 morning and 7 evening or 7 morning and 6 evening.
As the total number of evenings given is more than the morning, let us assume that 6 morning and 7 evening.
Conclusion 1: 13 days contributes to 6 mornings and 7 evenings.
Now it is to solve x:
x should contribute to exactly 6 mornings and and 7 evenings (6.5 days) to make the equation hold.
Hence the total days is 19.5.
