A householder employed a servant on the condition that food and lodging will be free and after the service of one year he will get Rs. 900 and a uniform as bonus. The servant left the job after serving for 9 months and accordingly the householder gave him Rs. 650 and a uniform. Find the price of the uniform.

Options

A. Rs. 250
B. Rs. 200
C. Rs. 175
D. Rs. 100

Answer

D

Explanation

12 months salary = Rs. 900 + A uniform ....(i)
9 months salary = Rs. 650 + A uniform ....(i)
Subtracting: We get
3 months salary = Rs. 250
`therefore `12 months salary = `Rs.4 xx 250`
` = Rs. 100` ...(iii)
Thus from (i), the cost of the uniform = Rs.100
