One way trip cost 150.(A-C)
One trip B-C costs 75. (B-C)
One trip B-C-B costs 150 (B-C-B)

the problem is not solve so i like to solve-----
the trip is Andheri--x--bandra--x--colaba--x--Bandra--x--Andheri
so the total trip divide into 4 equal part fare for each part to be=x= 300/4=75
the fare for Bandra--x--colaba--x--Bandra = 75*2=150=2x
this portion is share by three passengers so the cost for each = 50

Answer is
Per trip costs 150Rs totally.But the students travel half the distance as Mr.Subramaniam does. So they have to share the cost in the ratio 2:1:1
So, 150*(1/4)=37.5 Rs, Therfore each student has to pay 37.5*2=75 Rs and Mr.Subramaniam has to pay Rs 150...
