If taxi fares were Rs 1.00 for the first 1/5 mile and Rs 0.20 for each 1/5 miles thereafter. The taxi fare for
a 3-mile ride was
(A)Rs 1.56 (B)Rs 2.40 (C)RS 3.00 (D)Rs 3.80 (E)Rs 4.20

• D)3.80
  first 1/5 mile costs = 1.00
  remaining miles to be covered = 3-1/5 =14/5, =1/5 +1/5+1/5+.... until 14,
  hence 14*0.20=2.80
  total fare = 2.80 + 1.00 =3.80

• (D)Rs.3.80
  
  1/5 + 1/5 +...........upto 15 times=3 miles
  1+4(0.20) [ 1/5mile=1Rs and each mile thereafter=0.20 mile]
  3.80

• A) 1.56 rs
  frst mile costs 1.00 for 1/5=0.2mile
  therefore 3-0.2=2.8 miles
  2.8miles *0.2rs=1.56

• D) 3.80
  1/5*x=3
  x=15
  
  for first 1/5, fare=1
  therefore for the remaining distance, fare=14(.20)
  total fare= 1+ 2.80= 3.80

• 1/5 miles costs == 1
  remaing miles == 3-1/5=14/5=2.8
  14*0.20=2.80(1/5+1/5+1/5+---- untill14)
  total cost==2.80+1.00=3.80

• First 1/5 mile fare Rs 1.00,
  then next taxi fare Rs 0.20 for each 1/5,
  Total distance 3 miles and fare ?.
  Distance =1/5 mile => 1/5=0.2 mile
  total distance =3 - 0.2 => 2.80
  Total fare = 2.80+ 1.00
  =3.80

• ans:- (A) 1.56
  sol: first (1/5) mile=Rs.1
  Thereafter Rs. 0.20 for each (1/5) mile
  for 3 mile, 3-(1/5)= >14/5
  for (14/5)*0.20=>0.56
  Hence for 3 miles, 1+0.56=1.56
  Rs.1.56 is the correct answer.
