Answer 1

Let the original bus fare per person be Rs. x daily passenger traffic be y.

Daily collection at the depot = Rs. xy

Increased bus fare = Rs. 1.2x

Reduced passenger traffic =0.9y=1.08xy

Given, 1.08xy=xy+150

⇒xy=

0.08

150

=1875

∴ Increased daily collection = Rs. 1875+ Rs .150= Rs. 2025.
