Question 48

An old lady engaged a domestic help on the condition that she would pay him Rs. 90 and a gift after service of one year. He served only 9 months and received the gift and Rs. 65. Find the value of the gift.

Solution

Let 'G' be the value of the gift. Hence, the monthly salary of domestic help = $$\dfrac{90+G}{12}$$.

Therefore, $$9*\dfrac{90+G}{12} = G+65$$

$$3G = 30$$. Hence, G = Rs. 10.
