A room was rented, and the rent of odd day was Rs 1000 and that of even day was Rs 2000. If the room was rented on an even day and the total amount was Rs 30000, then find the total duration for which room was rented? Correct Answer 20 days

Given:

Rent on odd day = Rs. 1000

Rent on even day = Rs. 2000

Total amount = Rs. 30000

Calculation:

Total rent on one even and one odd day = Rs. (2000 + 1000) 

⇒ Total rent of one even and one odd day = Rs. 3000

⇒ Total rent paid in 2 days = Rs. 3000

⇒ Total rent paid in 2 × 10 days = Rs. 3000 × 10 = Rs. 30000

∴ Total duration for which room was rented is 20 days
