Samit was given some money to take care of his travel during a 6-day sales drive he had to undertake. However, he had to increase his stay by another 4 days and as a result his average daily travel allowance went down by ₹ 56. What was the amount that was sanctioned to him in the beginning?
Let total amount given to Samit initially for the travel be x
He was scheduled to stay for 6 days but ended up staying 10 days for which his average daily travel allowance went down by ₹ 56.
So the decrease in average daily travel allowance is,
$$\frac{x }{ 6}$$ - $$\frac{x }{10 }$$ = 56
$$\frac{10x - 6x }{ 60}$$ = 56
$$\frac{10x - 6x }{ 60}$$ = 56
$$\frac{4x }{ 60}$$ = 56
x = 840
Option C is correct.
