Question

• A. Rs.667.50
• B. Rs.867.43
• C. Rs.533.25
• D. Rs.733.75

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rs.733.75

As the cab is charging 2.5 times the normal rate, therefore, the original fare gets multiplied by the extra charges.
So, $2.5\times 293.5=733.75$.
Now Ria has to pay ₹ 733.75 as the total fare.
