An employee pays Rs. 26 for each day a worker and forfeits Rs. 7 for each day he idle. At the end of 56 days, if the worker got Rs. 829, for how many days did the worker remain idle?

a) 21 days
b) 15 days
c) 19 days
d) 13 days

Answer: c
Explanation: His Per day pay = Rs. 26
Total pay employee got = Rs. 829
Total pay he gets if he did not remain idle a single day,
= 26 × 56 = Rs. 1456
He Forfeits or fined = 1456 – 829 = Rs. 627
Per day he Forfeits Rs. 7 Means per idle day he loses = 26 + 7 = Rs. 33
Total idle days = $$\frac{{627}}{{33}}$$ = 19 days
