Question

Ria has to book a cab at 10 pm to go to her home from office. Due to peak time, the cab will charge 2.5 times that of normal. If without peak charges the fare from home to office is Rs.293.5, then what will be the total fare now?

• 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 Rs. 733.75 as the total fare.
