a. 35
b. 48
c. 52
d. 58

ANSWER: 52
 
Suppose the worker remained idle for m days. Then, he worked for (60 - m) days.
30 (60 - m) – 5m = 500
1800 – 25m = 500
25m = 1300
m = 52
So, the worker remained idle for 52 days.

    Subtracting -5m is out of -30m is wrong
    -30m- 5m = 35 m not 25 m
    so answer will be m= 1300/35
    =37.142857.......
    kindly correct it.

    30 (60 - m) – 5m = 500
    1800-30m-5m=500
    then how it became this?
    1800 – 25m = 500
