Question

A worker may claim Rs 15 for each km which he travels by taxi and Rs 5 for each km which he drives his own car. If in one week he claimed Rs 500 for travelling 80 km, how many kms did he travel by taxi?

• A. 10
• B. 20
• C. 30
• D. 80

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

10

Answer 2

Let the distance covered by taxi $=x$ km
Let the distance covered by car $=y$ km
So, $x+y=80$ .….(i)
$15x+5y=500$ ……(ii)
Solving both equations
$x=10km$.
The correct option is (A)
