Answer 1

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• Air India increased the fare of Pune to Port Blair journey in the ratio 5:7. The cost of a ticket now became Rs 14210.

To Find :-

• The original cost of the ticket and the increase in the fare.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let the original cost be 5x

And new cost be 7x

Now,

According to the condition,

New cost = 14210

7x = 14210

X = 14210 ÷ 7

X = 2030

Therefore,

Old cost = 5x

5(2030) = ₹10150

Increase in cost = new cost - old cost

Increase in cost = ₹14210 - ₹10150

Increase in cost = ₹4060
