- ARs 605
- BRs 121
- CRs 330
- DRs 242
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Given that the ratio of the original fare to the increased fare is 5:11.
Let the original fare be 5x and the new increased fare be 11x.
We are given that the original fare is Rs. 275:
5x=275
x=
5
275
=55
The increase in the fare is the difference between the new fare and the original fare:
Increase in fare=11x−5x=6x
Substitute the value of x:
Increase in fare=6×55=Rs 330
Let the original fare be 5x and the new increased fare be 11x.
We are given that the original fare is Rs. 275:
5x=275
x=
5
275
=55
The increase in the fare is the difference between the new fare and the original fare:
Increase in fare=11x−5x=6x
Substitute the value of x:
Increase in fare=6×55=Rs 330
