The bus fare between two cities is increased in the ratio 1:2. Find the increase in the fare, if the original fare is Rs. 175.
- ARs 350
- BRs 70
- CRs 140
- DRs 175
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the original fare be x and the new fare be 2x.
Given that the original fare is Rs. 175:
x=175
The new fare is:
2x=2×175=350
The increase in the fare is:
New Fare−Original Fare=350−175=175
Given that the original fare is Rs. 175:
x=175
The new fare is:
2x=2×175=350
The increase in the fare is:
New Fare−Original Fare=350−175=175
