Direction: Study the following table carefully and answer the questions given below it.
-
Shiv Kumar has to travel a distance of 15 Km in all. He decides to travel equal distance by each of the three types of vehicles. How much money is to be spent as fare?
-
- $ 51.75
- $ 47.50
- $ 47.25
- $ 51.25
- None of these
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.
