Mr. Rishab Bajaj, an entrepreneur in New York City, places a bet with some friends that he can travel around the world in 8 days by spending not more than $8000. His friends give him a list of 10 cities which he should pass through on this journey around the world. The fares and times by different modes of transport from each city to the next are given in the table below. Assume that Mr. Bajaj will spend 3 hours in every city if he has to change the mode of transport and 2 hours if he has to continue with the same mode of transport. Mr. Bajaj realizes that he will also have to spend on food and other expenses throughout the journey. Therefore, he will have only $7500 to pay for the travel fares. What is the minimum total time in which Bajaj can complete his journey within the given budget? |
