  • Question
  • The taxi charges in a city contain fixed charges and additional charge per kilometer. The fixed charge is for a distance of up to 5 km and additional charge per kilometer thereafter. The charge for a distance of 10 km is ? 350 and for 25 km is ? 800. The charge for a distance of 30 km is


  • Options
  • A. ? 800
  • B. ? 750
  • C. ? 900
  • D. ? 950

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 950 

    Explanation

    let the fixed charges = ? p for first 5 km
    and the additional charges = ? q per km
    according to the question
    p + 5q = 350........... (1)
    p + 20q = 800...........(2)
    on subtracting Eq. 1 from Eq. 2 we get
    15q = 450
    q = 30
    On putting the value of q in Eq. (1) we get
    p = 200
    ? charge for a distance of 30 km = p + 25q
    = 200 + 30 x 25 = ? 950
