A sum of amount of money is sufficient to pay Naveen’s salary for 28 days and Mohan’s salary for 44 days. The same money is adequate to pay the salary of both for.

OPtion

1) 17.11 days
2) 18.5 days
3) 18.4 days
4) 19 days
5) 19.5 days
6) 16 days
7) 16.5 days

10) None of the above

Solution

Let the total money be Rs.x
Naveen’s 1 day salary = Rs. x/28
Mohan’s 1 day salary = Rs. x/44
(Naveen + Mohan) 1 day salary = Rs(x/28+x/44)
= (7x+11x)/308 =18x/308
x = 308/18 = 17.11
Money is adequate to pay the salary of both for 17.11 days.
