Question

Two bus tickets from city A to B and three tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 77 but three tickets from city A to B and two tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 73. What are the fares for cities B and C from A ?

Answer 1

Heya ! Friend ,

# R.s 17 and R.s 13

Solution :-

➡Let, the fare from city B = x
And the fare from city A = y , be the fare of the city C from city A.


Then, 2x + 3y = 77...(i) and

3x + 2y = 73....(ii)

➡So, multiply (1 )with 3 and (2) with 2 and substract them into :-


6x + 9y = 231
6x + 4y = 146
_____________
5y = 85
Or , y = 85/5
Or , y = 17

Put y = 17 in (1) ...we get

➡2x + 3(17) = 77
Or, 2x = 77 - 51
Or, 2x = 26
Or, x = 13

,➡Then, the fare from city A to B = 13 and fare from city A to C = 17...i hope it helps you
