Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the expenses for each travelers.

Now for 40 passenger expenses is: 40x and 500 is for new passengers.

so Total expense is (40x+500). However it is said Rs 10 is expenditure reduced so for new passenger total passenger is (40+5)=45 and new expenditure is (x-10).

So the equation is :

(40x+500) = 45(x-10)

or 40x+500=45x-450

or 5x=950

or x=190

So the original expense is 40x=40*190=7600

Therefore original expense of travelling in the bus is Rs 7600

Answer D is the correct option
