increase in the fare, if the original fare is Rs 550?

a) Rs 350
b) Rs 900
c) Rs 180
d) Rs 360

Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

Let original fare = Rs. x

Also, original fare = 175 = x
∴ Increase in fare = 2x - x = x
= 1 × 175 = Rs.175
=> Ans - (D)

2) Answer (C)

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 9 and and number of visitors = 70

=> Original revenue = 9 × 70 = Rs 630
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 13 and number of visitors = 40
=> New Revenue = 13 × 40 = Rs 520
