  • Question
  • Mr. Arjun is on tour and he has ? 360 for his expenses. If he exceeds his tour by 4 days, he must cut down his daily expenses by ? 3. For how many days is Mr. Arjun out on tour?


  • Options
  • A. 40
  • B. 20
  • C. 60
  • D. 15

  • Correct Answer
  • 20 

    Explanation

    Let Mr . Arjun is on tour for N days.
    Then, according to the question,
    Difference in expenses per day for original and extended tour = 3
    360/N - 360/(N + 4) = 3
    ? 1/N - 1/(N + 4) = 3/360 = 1/120
    ? [N + 4 - N] / [ N x (N + 4)] = 1/120
    ? N(N + 4) = 4 x 120 = 480
    ? N2 + 4N - 480 = 0
    ? N2 + 24 - 20x - 480 = 0
    ? N(N + 24) - 20(N + 24) = 0
    ? (N + 24) (N - 20) = 0
    ? N = 20
    (we ignore -ve value of x, that is, -24 because days cannot be negative)
