Ram Rakhan
was well known all around his neighborhood for being a very lazy person. So
when he went around looking for a job as a farm – hand everyone refused to
engage him, except farmer Gulab Singh, who was very smart person. Gulab Singh
engaged the services of Ram Rakhan at a salary of Rs. 240 a month consisting of
30 days. However, he set a condition that he would forfeit Rs. 10 for each day
that he idled. Ram Rakhan accepted the job.
At the end of the month it was found that neither owed the
other anything. This taught a lesson to Ram Rakhan.
Can you tell just how many days ram Rakhan worked and how
many days he idled?
Answer: Ram
Rakhan worked for 16⅔ days and idled 13⅓days.
His salary at Rs.240
per 30 day month works out to Rs. 8 a day .At Rs. 8 a day working 16⅔ days he
earned Rs. 133.33 and idling 13⅓ days he lost also Rs. 133.33. Therefore
neither owed the other anything.
