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 |
