Question

a railway half ticket cost half the full fare but the reservation charges are same on a half ticket as in a full ticket. one reserved and half reserved tickwt from station a to station b vist rupees 1200 form a linear equation.

Answer 1

Let the reservation charge be x rs
and the first class charge for full ticket be y rs

then x+y = 362

and y + (2x1/2)y + 2x=554
3y/2 + 2x =554
therefore 3y+4x = 1108
and 4y+4x = 1448

therefore y =Rs 340

and x = 362-340
= 22
