A worker was hired for 7 days. Each day, he was paid Tk. 10 more than what he was paid for the previous day of work. The total amount he was paid in the first 4 days of work equaled the total amount he was paid in the last 3 days. What was his starting pay?

A    Tk. 90

B    Tk. 138

C    Tk. 153

D    Tk. 160

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

 

payment for day 1 = x

payment for first 4 days = x + x +10+x+20+x+30 = 4x +60

payment for last 3 days = x+40+x+50+x+60 = 3x + 150

now, A/Q,

4x + 60 = 3x + 150

x = 90
