    ∴ 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

    Correct Option: A

    Fare by A = $ 9 + 4.50 = $ 12
    3 x 2

    Fare by B = $ 24.25 + 33.25 - 24 = $ 30.25
    3 x 2

    ∴ 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 - 73

    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.
