Question 12 |
In certain city the Taxi charges comprise of a fixed charge and the charge of the distance travelled. A person paid ` 156 for a journey of 16 km and another person paid ` 204 for the journey of 24 km. The amount paid by a passenger who has travelled 30 km is
236 | |
240 | |
248 | |
256 |
Question 12 Explanation:
Fixed charge = ‘x’ Say
Variable charge = Rs y per km
⇒ x + 16y = 156 → (1)
x + 24y = 204 → (2)
By solving (1) & (2),
x = 60, y = 6
⇒ Cost for travelling distance of 30 km = 60 + 3y
= 60 + 3(6)
= Rs 240
Variable charge = Rs y per km
⇒ x + 16y = 156 → (1)
x + 24y = 204 → (2)
By solving (1) & (2),
x = 60, y = 6
⇒ Cost for travelling distance of 30 km = 60 + 3y
= 60 + 3(6)
= Rs 240
