Question

$1.20 per kilometre for the first 10 km then 80 cents for each additional kilometre after the first 10 km. Calculate the fare for a journey of 8 km,

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

A

0

The taxi fare for first km=15

The taxi fare for 2nd km=15+8=23

The taxi fare for 3rd km=15+8+8=31 and so on,

Therefore, the taxi fare form the sequence 15,23,31,...

Clearly, it is an AP with first term a=15 and common difference d=8

Therefore, answer is 0.
