Two bus tickets from city K to L and three tickets from city K to M cost Rs. 77, but three tickets from city K to L and two tickets from city K to M cost Rs. 73. What are the fares for cities L and M from K ?

Correct Answer: Rs. 13 and Rs. 17

Explanation:

If fares for cities L and M from K are x and y respectively, then


2x + 3y = 77 or 6x + 9y = 231...(1)
3x + 2y = 73 or 6x + 4y = 146...(2)


subtracting 2 from 1, we get


5y = 85


y = Rs. 17 => x = Rs. 13
