Mr. Subramaniam rents a private car for Andheri-Colaba-Andheri trip. It costs him Rs. 300 everyday. One day the car driver informed Mr. Subramaniam that there were two students from Bandra who wished to go from Bandra to Colaba and back to Bandra. Bandra is halfway between Andheri and Colaba. Mr. Subramaniam asked the driver to let students travel with him. On the first day when they came, Mr. Subramaniam said, "If you tell me the mathematically correct price you should pay individually for your portion of the trip, I will let you travel for free."
How much should the individual student pay for their journey?

• Ans: Rs 50
  
  Round trip costs 300 (A-C-A)
  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)
  
  150 (trip) / 3 (people in car) = 50 per student per trip.

• 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

• Each student should pay Rs.50 for their journey…
  Bandra is halfway between Andheri and Colaba… So from Andheri to Colaba the fare is Rs.150…3 of them travelling from andheri to colaba… So, each one has to pay Rs.50 for this portion of trip…

• 50 rs
  cost for bandra-colaba-bandra journey=300/2=150
  3 of them if shared equally, each has to pay=150/3=50 rs

• 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...
