    ∴ 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.

    ∴ 1° ≡
    36000
    = $ 100
    360

    ∴ 60° ≡ 60 × 100 = $ 6000
    ∴ Annual savings = $ (6000 × 12)
    = $ 72000

    Correct Option: B

    ∵ 360° ≡ $ 36000

    ∴ 1° ≡
    36000
    = $ 100
    360
