Options- A. Rs. 236
- B. Rs. 240
- C. Rs. 248
- D. Rs. 252
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 240
ExplanationLet 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.
