answer 380 is answer of this question
the actual amount to be paid to the auto driver is Rs 321.
given:
distance between Raman's home and his office: 35 km
He covered the first 5/3 km at the rate of Rs 6 per km
He covered subsequent 67/3 km at the rate of Rs 9 per km.
Rest by Ola cab @ Rs 10 per km.
to find:
the actual amount to be paid to the auto driver
solution:
He covered the first 5/3 km at the rate of Rs 6 per km
fare for the first 5/3 km = 5/3 * 6 = Rs 10
He covered subsequent 67/3 km at the rate of Rs 9 per km.
fare for the subsequent 67/3 km =67/3 * 9 = Rs 201
Rest distance covered by Ola cab = 35 km - 5/3 km - 67/3 km = 11 km
fare for the Rest distance = 11 km * 10 = Rs 110
total fare = Rs 10 + Rs 201 +Rs 110 = Rs 321.
therefore the actual amount to be paid to the auto driver is Rs 321.
