Question

Calculate the total kms. and total passenger kms- from the following

(i) Number of buses –5

(ii) Trips made by each bus –4

(iii) Distance of Route –20 kms (one way)

(iv) Days operated in a month –25

(v) Capacity in each bus – 50 passengers

(vi) Normal passengers travelled –90% of capacity.​

Answer 1

Answer:

kms=17,500km

passengers=1,025

Answer 2

Total kms are 20000 and total passenger kms are 900000

Explanation:

• It represents the total number of kms travelled in total, its useful in cost calculation that how much money is required to charge from each passenger to earn desirable profit.

Given: (i) Number of buses –5

           (ii) Trips made by each bus –4

           (iii) Distance of Route –20 km (one way)

           (iv) Days operated in a month –25

            (v) Capacity in each bus – 50 passengers

            (vi) Normal passengers travelled –90% of capacity.​

To find: Total kms. and total passenger kms.

Solution:

Calculation of Total kilometers=

  = No. of buses* no. of trips* distance* no. of days

  = 5*2*4*20*25 = 20000 kms

Calculation of total passenger kilometer=

 = 20000*50*90%  = 900000kms
