Coffee Server Got 200 cups for 200 employees
By the condition of incentive he will get 200X30 = 6000 Paises
But the vender Reci=eived Rs.24/- or 2400 paises as incentive
His loss is 6000-2400 = 3600 paises
Now by condition of broken cup, 90 paise is charged each broken cup
So Broken Cups = 3600/90 =40 cups
Isn't it ?
Right or not?

Yes Khemraj's calculation is right. I think 40 cups is the right answer only. Hey arya, please tell the answer as early as possible.

Coffee Server Got 400 cups for 200 employees for twice a day.
By the condition of incentive he will get 400X30 = Rs. 120\-
But the vender Received Rs.24/- as incentive
now assume x is a no. of safety cups then no. of broken cups are 400-x. By condition of incentive 30x - (400-x)90 = 2400.
if we solve this equation we will get x= 320 then 400-x means 400-320 = 80 is broken cups.
so answer is 80.

There are 400 cups to be served twice a day.
therefore 400*30=12000 paisey(120 rupees)
now let n cups are not broken
so 30n minus the (400-n)90 will give us the incentive as 24
solving it we get 80 cups as the answer
as 30n-(400-n)90=24
n=80 cups

Yes the answer will be 30 cups were broken
170X30=5100 means he got 51 Rs out of which
30X90=2700 means he lost 27 Rs
So 51-27= 24 Rs.

total emplouess =200
coffee serverd= twice a day.
so total cups of coffee served= 2 * 200 = 400

incentive for every cup of coffee is 30p.
so assumed incentive= 0.30 * 400 = 120 Rs.

But the vender Received Rs.24/- as incentive
let us assume z is no. of safe cups.
so broken cups are 400-z.
By condition of incentive 30 * - (400-z)90 = 2400.

After solving this equation we will get z= 320 then 400-z means 400-320 = 80 is broken cups.

so Total No. of broken cups are 80.
