Question

A hotel in Manali charges double for a double bedroom than it does for a single bedroom. A family, on a holiday in Manali, hires a single bedroom and a double bedroom and stays in the hotel for 4 days. If the family has to pay Rs. 7200 as hotel charges in all, find the charges per day for a single bedroom.

• A. Rs 600
• B. Rs 800
• C. Rs 1200
• D. Rs 1600
• E. RS 400

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Rs 600

$\text{Let the charges per day for a single bedroom be Rs. x.}\therefore \text{Charges per day for a double bedroom is Rs. 2x.}\text{Total charges for 4 days for a single bedroom = Rs. 4x.}\text{Total charges for 4 days for a double bedroom = Rs. 4(2x)}\text{= Rs. 8x.}\text{4x + 8x = 7200}\Rightarrow 12x=7200\Rightarrow x=\frac{7200}{12}\text{Single bedroom charges per day}=Rs.600and\text{Double bedroom charges per day}=Rs.(2\times 600)=Rs.1200$
