Answer 1

The correct option is B (b) 12

Ans:29)(b)
Sol:
Let x be the no. days where both are equal cost.
130 + 2*2x = 7.5*2x
130+4x =15x
130 =11x
x =11.81
By plugging in for 11 days
For A
130 +(11*2)*2=130+44=174
For B
22*7.5=165
By plugging in for 12 days
For A
130 +(12*2)*2=130+48=178
For B
24*7.5=180
Therefore answer is (b)
