A library book was due on the first circled date and returned on the second. The fine is ₹2 for each day the library is open after the due date, up to and including the return day. The library is shut on Sundays. What is the fine?

Question

Accepted Answer

₹24. Days after the due date (12 November) up to the return (26 November): 13 to 26 November = 14 days. Two of them, 18 and 25 November, are Sundays, so 12 chargeable days: 12 × ₹2 = ₹24. (₹28 charges the Sundays; ₹26 counts 13 days.)
