Question
Mr Ramakrishna is the bus conductor on KSRTC Bangalore - Kundapur route.
While the bus stopped for 5minutes in Mangalore, he noticed that 4 passengers got inside the bus, 3 of them to Udupi and one to Kundapur.
Price of tickets is Rs 1.3 per kilometer.
What is the approximate extra money collected from these 4 passengers ??
Answer
First we need to estimate the distances from Mangalore to Udupi and Kundapur.
Mangalore to Udupi --- 56km
Mangalore to Kundapur --- 90km
The rate is Rs 1.3 per kilometer.
==>> Fare to Udupi : 55 * 1.3
==>> : 71.50 Rs
Fare to Kundapur : 90 * 1.3
==>> : 117.00 Rs
The approximate extra money collected from passengers to Udupi as there were 3 passengers,
≠=>> 71.5 * 3 = 214.5 Rs
One passenger to Kundapur = 117.00 Rs
==>> Total money = 214.5 + 117.0 = 331. 5 Rs !!!
