Solution for the Idler
As per the given premise and rule, let us attempt to find the number of days in which Ram Lakhan worked and the number of days he sat inactively.
So, Ram Lakhan’s salary was decided to be Rs. 240 for a month of 30 days. This makes it Rs. 8 each day.
Now, when as we know none owned anything to one another.
Therefore, the concept to apply the logic is:-
Concept
The salary of working days = The salary forfeit for the inactive days
Hence, he must have worked for 16\frac {2}{3}1632 days which means he earned money = Rs. 133.33
And he must have idled for 13\frac {1}{3}1331 and lost money = Rs. 133.33.
This makes a situation where Gulab Singh and Ram Lakhan owned nothing to one another.
