If we buy 2 tickets from station A to B, and 3 from station A to station C, we have to pay Rs.795. But 3 tickets from station A to B and 5 tickets from A to C costs a total of Rs.1300. What is the fare from station A to staion B and from station A to C?
Please help me with this question! :)
let AtoB=X and AtoC=Y so now the required eqaution will be
2X+3Y=795------first equartion
3X+5Y=1300-----------second equation
now you got two pairs of eqaution and you can use any of three methods i.e. substitution or elemination or cross multiplication.
And you arrive at Y=215 and X=75
ans.Fare from AtoB is 215 and
Fare from AtoC is 75.
I hope i have answered your question correctly!
