Detailed Solution

Let the man works for x days in April and he is absent for y days.
Since, April has total 30 days.
x+y=30.........(1)
According to question:
100x-10y=1900 10x-y=190.........(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get,
11x=220 x=20 Hence the man worked for 20 days in April.
Therefore option (1) is correct.
