Number System
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?
Let the number be 10x + y.∴ 10x + y - (10y + x) = 27or 9x - 9y = 27∴ x - y = 3 .......(I)x + y = 13 .......(II)From eqn (I) and (II)x = 8 and y = 5.So the number = 85Therefore, product = 8 x 5 = 40
