A man engaged a servant on a condition that he'll pay Rs 90 and also give him a bag at the end of the yr. He served for 9 months and was given a turban and Rs 65. So the price of turban is
Rs 10 / 19 / 0 / 55

• The servant serves only for 9 months , i.e. 3/4th of a year(9/12)
  Now if the servant serves for 1 year cost to Employer is 90 + a bag.
  Hence money to be paid for 9 months is 3/4* 90 which is 75, but the amt payed to servant is 65.
  Diff= 75-65=10
  Thus the turban must have made up for this diff.
  Ans= 10

• Let the value of turban =Rs x
  For 1 year=90+x
  For 9 months(i,e 3/4 year)=65+x
  i,e
  1:(90+x)::3/4:(65+x)
  i,e
  (90+x)/(65+x)=1/(3/4)
  270+3x=260+4x
  Thus x=10
