Question

The ratio between the number of passengers travelling by $I^{st}$ and $I{I}^{nd}$ class between the two railway stations is $1:50$, where as the ratio of $I^{st}$ and $I{I}^{nd}$ class fares between the same stations is $3:1$. If on a particular day, $Rs.1325$ were collected from the passengers travelling between these stations by these classes, then what was the amount collected from the $I{I}^{nd}$ class passengers?

• A. $Rs.750$
• B. $Rs.850$
• C. $Rs.1000$
• D. $Rs.1250$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$Rs.1250$

The ratio between the number of passengers travelling by Ist and IInd class between the two railway stations is 1:50, where as the ratio of Ist and IInd class fares between the same stations is 3:1.
Then ratio of the amount collected from the 1st class and 2nd class passengers 3:50
$\therefore$amount collated from the 2nd class passengers =$\frac{50}{53}\times 1325=1250$RS
