The train ticket fare from places A to B in 2nd class AC and 3rd class AC is Rs. 2,500 and Rs. 2,000, respectively. If the fares of 2nd class AC and 3rd class AC are increased by 20% and 10%, respectively, then find the ratio of the new fares of 2nd class AC and 3rd class AC.1. 13 : 112. 15 : 113. 15 : 134. 12 : 11

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 15 : 11

Given:

The train ticket fare in 2nd class AC = Rs. 2500

The train ticket fare in 3rd class AC = Rs. 2000

Fare increase in 2nd class AC = 20%

Fare increase in 3rd class AC = 10%

Calculations:

The train ticket fare in 2nd class AC and 3rd class AC after the increase

New train ticket fare in 2nd class AC = (120/100) × 2500

⇒ Rs. 3000

New train ticket fare in 3rd class AC = (110/100) × 2000

⇒ Rs. 2200

Ratio of new fares of 2 and 3 class AC = 3000 ∶ 2200

⇒ 15 ∶ 11

∴ The ratio of the new fares of 2nd class AC and 3rd class AC is 15 ∶ 11
