A laborer is engaged for 30 days on the condition that he receives Rs.25 for each day he works and is fined Rs.7.50 for each day is absent. He gets Rs.425 in all. For how many days was he absent ?

10 days
14 days
11 days
9 days

Correct Answer: 10 days

Explanation:

For 30 days he receives

30 x 25 = 750

Actually he gets 425

Therefore, Fine is 750 - 425 = 325

=> No of days absent = 325/(25+7.50)= 10
