Correct Answer: 32 days
Explanation:
Here. total number of days they worked = 72 days
Let, the wife worked for x days
so, The husband worked for (72 – x) days
According to the question
640x + (72 -x) x 560 = 43,520
=> 640x+ 40,320 -560x = 43,520
=> 80x = 43,520 – 40,320
so, x = 40
So. the wife worked for 40 days days and the husband worked for (72 -40) = 32 days.
