- For a journey of 16 km, the charges paid are Rs. 156 and for a journey of 24 km, the charges paid are Rs. 204.
Additional charges for 8 kms = 204-156 = 48 Rs
additional charge/km= 48/8 = Rs 6
additional charge for 6 kms = 6*6 = Rs 36.
total charges for 30 kms = 204 +36 = Rs 240 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(0)
- Let the fixed charge be Rs. x and variable charge be Rs.y per km. Then,
x + 16y = 156 ...(i) and
x + 24y = 204 ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60, y = 6.
Therefore Cost of travelling 30 km = 60 + 30 y = Rs. (60 + 30 x 6) = Rs. 240. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ANS B.240
For a journey of 16 km, the charges paid are Rs. 156 means per km cost is 9.75
for a journey of 24 km, the charges paid are Rs. 204 means first 16km travelled at a cost 9.75 (total 152 ruppes) and remaining 8 km travelled at a cost of 6 (i.e.(204-152)/8) assuming 6 rupees from 17 km on
words. total cost for 30 km trip would be 156 +(14*6) = 240.
