If toll tax at all of the toll booths is same and is devised such that the ratio of maximum cost to minimum cost of travel from X to Y is 28 : 19 then which one of the following is the cost of travel from X to Y through toll Both T3?

Correct Answer: 560 or 510

Explanation:

If toll tax at all of the toll booths is same and let it be k then expense in each path is as follows:
Path 1: 240 + 3k
Path 2: 260 + 5k
Path 3: 260 + 6k
Path 4: 260 + 5k
Path 5: 230 + 3k
So from the given condition On solving we will get k = 50
Tool booth 3 will come in Path 3 and Path 4.
So cost incurred is:
Path 3: 260 + 6k = 260 + 300 = 560
Path 4: 260 + 5k = 260 + 250 = 510
Therefore , 560 or 510 is the cost of travel from X to Y through toll Both T3 .
