Leena, a clever lady lived in a house along with his 2 children. One day, a lady beggar went to
Leena's house. Leena, the clever lady asked the beggar how much she get a day. "10 rupees" the lady beggar replied.
Leena felt sorry and gave her a job with a salary of 16 rupees/day along with free food. Along with that, she put forward a condition too... The condition was that, If the beggar is in leave, she has to give 20 rupees/day to Leena.
Beggar accepted the condition and joined for work. After 36 days Leena checked the attendance register for payment, but there was no amount payable. If so, how many days she went for job in that 36 days?

ReplyDeletelet no. of days she worked is 'x'
ReplyDeletethen,16(x)-20(36-x)=0
on solving x=20
20 days = 20*16=320
ReplyDelete16 days = 16*20=320
Begger worked 20 days...

ReplyDelete0=16*x - 20*(36-x)
ReplyDelete0=16*x - 720 + 20*x
720=36x
20=x
verify:
16*20-20*16=0
Answer is that she worked for 20 days.
This is 8th grade math. X is the number of days worked. 36 - X is the number of days of leave taken. So, 16(X) = 20 (36-X). This yields 36X=720, this X=20 days worked and (36 - x)= 16 days leave taken.

ReplyDeleteEarn = Pr(Dp)-Ar(36days-Dp)
ReplyDelete0 = [16(DP)]-[20(36-Dp)]
0 = 16Dp-720-20Dp
0 = 36Dp-720
720 = 36Dp
Dp = 720/36 = 20days duty; 14days leave
there is no way to answer this correctly because the person who wrote this brain teaser doesn't know how to speak proper english and doesn't know if leena is a man or a woman!!

ReplyDelete24 days went on duty.,and 12 days leave..that is 24 days =Rs.240(24*10)and 12 days =Rs. 240(12*20)...acording to the condition Rs.240-Rs.240=0

ReplyDelete16X=20(36-X)
ReplyDeleteX=20 days
