for 8 kms = Rs 111
for 12 kms = Rs 159
difference 4 kms = (159 - 111) =Rs 48
therefore, for 1 km = 48/4 = Rs 12
hence charges to travel distance of 5 kms = 12 x 5 = 60
answer = Rs 60
for 12 kms = Rs 159
difference 4 kms = (159 - 111) =Rs 48
therefore, for 1 km = 48/4 = Rs 12
hence charges to travel distance of 5 kms = 12 x 5 = 60
answer = Rs 60
