The ratio between the number of passengers travelling by I & II Class between two railway stations is 1 : 50,
whereas the ratio of the I & II Class fares between the same stations is 3 : 1. If on a particular day, Rs. 1325 were
collected from the passengers travelling between these stations, what was the amount collected from the II Class
passengers ?

• let the no of passengers b denoted as x and fare as y
  therefore, x*3y+50x*y=1325
  or,3xy+50xy=1325
  or,53xy=1325
  or,xy=1325/53=25
  thus amnt colectd 4m passengers of 2nd class=50*xy=50*25=1250

• let no of passengers be p and rate of fare be f
  hence p*3f+50p*f =1325
  => 3pf+50pf = 1325
  => 53pf = 1325
  => pf = 1325/53 =25
  amount collected from II class passengers = 50 *pf = 50*25 = 1250

• Let the number of passenger in 1st class = x
  The number of passenger in II class = 50x
  Fare of 1st class = 3y
  Fare of II class = y
  Total amount = x*3y + 50x*y = 53xy = 1325 (Given)
  xy = 25
  Amount collected from II class passenger = 50x*y = 50xy
  => 50 * 25 = Rs 1250.
