Question

the taxi fare is rs. 14 for first kilometer and charges additional 2 rs. for each additional kilometer . what is the fare for 10 kilometres ​

Answer 1

Answer:

for 1st km fare is Rs 14

for next 9 km fare is Rs(9×2)=Rs18

so, fare for 10 km is Rs (14+18)=Rs 32

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the taxi fare increases by Rs. 2 every kilometer after the first, the successive taxi fares form an A.P.

The taxi fare for first kilometer (a) = Rs. 14

Increase in taxi fare in every kilometer after first kilometer (d) = 2

No. of kilometers covered by taxi (n) = 10

Taxi fare for 10 kilometers = t10 = ?

tn = a + (n + 1) d

∴ t10 = a + (10 – 1) d

∴ t10 = 14 + 9 (2)

∴ t10 = 14 + 18

∴ t10 = 32

∴ Taxi fare for ten kilometers is Rs. 32.
