    An intern was paid a stipend of Rs. 1,792 for a period

    of 30 days calculated on daily basis. During this period, he was absent for 4 days and was fined Rs. 12 per day for absence. He was given full amount for only 20 days as he was late for the rest of the days and he got only half of the amount on the late days. Had the intern come on time every day, not being absent on any day, what stipend he would have been received?

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution
