A man engaged a servant on the condition that he would pay him 90 and a turban after service of one year. He served only for nine months and received the tu rban and an amount on’ 65. The price of turban is
(A) Rs. 25 (B) Rs. 18.75
(C) Rs.10 (D) Rs. 2.50
Answer: (C) Rs. 10
Explanation:-
Let be the price of turban = Rs.P & the monthly salary is Rs.X
Then, the salary of 12 months = 9 X = 90 + P
And the salary of 1 months = (90 + P)/12
Therefore, the salary of 9 months = 9 X = 65 + P
Then, the salary of 3 months 3X = (90 + P ) – ( 65 – P )
3X = 25
12 X = 100
90 + P = 100
P = 100 – 90
P = Rs.10
Hence, the answer is (C) Rs.10
