∴ Total fare = Fare of A + Fare of B + Fare of C
Correct Option: D
Distance to be travelled by each type of vehicle
= 15 = 5 km 3
Since, to travel 5 Km by vehicle A, he will pay $ 9 for 4 Km and for the next 1 Km he will have to pay$ (13.5 - 9.00 ) x 1 ( 7 - 4 )
Similarly, for other cases.Fare by A = $ 9 + (13.50 - 9 ) = 9 + 1.50 = $ 10.50 ( 7 - 4 ) Fare by B = 14.50 + ( 24.25 - 14.50 ) = 14.50 + 3.25 = $ 17.75 ( 7 - 4 ) Fare by C = 19 + ( 31 - 19 ) = 19 + 4 = $ 23 ( 7 - 4 )
∴ Total fare = Fare of A + Fare of B + Fare of C
Total fare = 10.50 + 17.75 + 23 = $ 51.25.

∴ Total fare = Fare by A for 8 Km + Fare by B for 5 km + Fare by C for 5 Km
Correct Option: E
Fare by B for 5 km = 14.50 + 3.25 = $ 17.75
Fare by A for 8 Km = 13.50 + 17.25 - 13.50 = $ 14.75 3 Fare by C for 5 Km = 19 + 31 - 19 = $ 23 3
∴ Total fare = Fare by A for 8 Km + Fare by B for 5 km + Fare by C for 5 Km
Total fare = 17.75 + 14.75 + 23 = 55.50.

∴ Total fare = Fare by A + Fare by B
∴ Total fare = 30.25 + 12 = $ 42.25.

∴ Difference = Fare by B − Fare by A
Correct Option: B
Fare, for 8 Km by A = 13.50 + 17.25 - 13.50 = 13.50 + 3.75 = $ 14.75 10 - 7 3 Fare by B = 24.25 + 33.25 - 24.25 = $ 27.25 3
∴ Difference = Fare by B − Fare by A
Difference = 27.25 − 14.75 = $ 12.50.
