The ratio of 1st and 2nd classes train fairs between two stations is 3 : 1 and that of the number of passengers travelling between these stations by 1st and 2nd classes is 1 : 50. If on a particular day, ₹ 2650 be collected from the passengers travelling between these stations, then find the amount collected from 2nd class passengers.
Correct Answer: ₹ 2500
Explanation:
Ratio of the amounts collected from 1st and 2nd classes fairs = (3 x 1) ; (1 x 50) = 3 : 50
∴ Amount collected from 2nd class
Passengers = 2650 x (50/53) = ₹ 2500
