Case Study
It is common that government revises fares from time to time based on various factors such as
taxes, economy and inflation, for various vehicles like auto-rickshaw, taxis and radio cab etc.
The auto and Taxi charge in a city comprise of fixed charge and the charge for the distance
covered. Few situations are given below in the form questions. Find the correct option.
Q. 1. If the fixed charge in a city is ₹x and charge per km is ₹5 and total fare is ₹60 then find the
linear equation for the journey of 10 km.
(a) x + 50 = 60
(b) x – 50 = 60
(c) x + 50 = 50
(d) None of these
Q. 3. If in a city a person has to pay ₹110 for a journey of 15 km and fixed charge is ₹20 then
what is the charge per km is?
(a) ₹12
(b) ₹6
(c) ₹8
(d) no fixed charge
Q. 4. If in a city fixed charge is double of the charge per km and a person paid ₹75 for a journey
of 1 km, then the linear equation for the following situation is?
Q. 5. According to the given equation: 2x + 17 = 85, if ₹17 is the fixed charge and the total fare
is ₹85 for a journey of 2km then what is the charge per kilometre?
