Once reserved first class ticket from bombay to Pune costs rs.216 and one full and o e half reserved first ticket costs rs. 327 . What is the first class full fare and what is the reservation charge?

Answer 1

let the basic first class full fare be Rs x and the reservation charges be Rs y.
Then,
x+y=4150
And,(x+y)+1/2x+y=6255
3x+4y=12510
On solving we get,
x=4090,y=60
