  • Options

  • B. ? 551/-
  • C. ?572/-
  • D. ?560/-

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 551/- 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the one adult fare be a and one child fare be c.
    According to question,
    Bus fare of one Adult is six times the fare of one child.
    a = 6c ........................(1)
    If an adult's bus fare is 114.
    a = 114
    put the value of a in equation (1). We will get
    6c = 114
    ? c = 114/6
    ? c = 19
    Now we have to calculate amount paid by 4 adults and 5 children for Bus fare
    Bus fare of 4 adults and 5 child = 4a + 5c
    Put the value of a and c in above equation. We will get
    ? Bus fare of 4 adults and 5 child = 4 x 114 + 5 x 19
    ? Bus fare of 4 adults and 5 child = 456 + 95
    ? Bus fare of 4 adults and 5 child =?/- 551
