If Deepak travels a distance of 20 km. The amount he has to pay is (a) ₹300 (b)₹205 (c) ₹150 (d)₹200 (remember that deepaks taxi take 15 rupees for first kilometer and the 10 rupees per kilometer)​

Answer 1

We have to find the amount that Deepak has to pay to travel a distance of 20 km

It is given that for the first kilometer he has to pay ₹15

And then he has to pay ₹10 per kilometer

So, for 19 km he will have to pay ₹190

The total amount he has to pay = amount for 1st km + amount for 19 km

                                               = 15 + 190

                                               =205

Deepak will have to pay ₹ 205 for 20 km

So, the correct answer will be option b.

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) Rs. $205$

Step-by-step explanation:

• In this problem, we have to find the total amount which Deepak has to pay for travelling a distance of $20$ km.
• It is given that taxi charges Rs. $15$ for first kilometer and Rs. $10$ for remaining kilometers.
• Total distance = $20$ km
• Amount charged for first km = Rs. $15$
• Amount charged for remaining km = $(20-1)*10$

                                                  = $19*10$

                                                  = Rs. $190$

• ∴ Total amount of travelling = amount charged for first km + amount charged for remaining $19$ km

                                       = $15+190$

                                       = Rs. $205$      

∴ Option (b) Rs. $205$ is correct.
