Answers
Answer:
2,500
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the reservation charges be Rs. x and cost of full ticket of first class be Rs. y.
It is given that one reserved first class ticket from the station A to B costs Rs. 2530. Also, one reserved first class ticket and one reserved first class half ticket from A to B costs Rs. 3810, therefore,
x+y=2530..........(1) and
since railway half ticket costs half the full fare, but the reservation charges are the same on a half ticket as on a full ticket so we get
(x+y)+(x+
2
y
)=3810
⇒4x+3y=7620.............(2)
Multiplying equation 1 by 3 we get,
3x+3y=7590..........(3)
Now subtracting equation 3 from equation 2, we get x=30.
Now substitute the value of x in equation 1 that is:
30+y=2530
implies y=2500
Hence, the full first class fare from station A to B is Rs. 2500.
