Question

The ratio of first class fare to the second class fare between the two stations is 4:1 and that of the number of passengers travelling between the two stations by first class to that of passengers travelling by second class is 1:40. If in a day, rs.1100 is collected from passengers travelling between the two stations by railways, find the amount collected from second class passengers. 1)rs. 5002)rs.6003)rs.8004)rs.1000

Answer 1

Ratio of amount from first and second class = 4x1  :  1x40  = 4  : 40  = 1:10

amount collected from first class = 1100 x 1/11  = 100

Amount collected from second class = 1100 x 10/11 = Rs1000
