The Auto rickshaw fare rate in a city is as follows: Minimum Charge - Rs. 25 (Up to 1.5 km) For more than 1.5 km - Rs. 9.5 per kilometre. Raju hired an auto rickshaw to go back to his home, which is 7.5 km away from city. How much money does he have to pay after completing the journey? Correct Answer Rs. 82

Given:

Minimum Charge of Auto rickshaw = Rs. 25 (Up to 1.5 km)

For more than 1.5 km = Rs. 9.5 per kilometer.

Calculation:

Total distance covered by Raju = 7.5 km

Up to 1.5 km, the minimum charge of an Auto rickshaw is Rs. 25.

The distance covered by Raju after 1.5 km = Total distance covered by Raju - 1.5 km

The distance covered by Raju after 1.5 km = 7.5 km - 1.5 km

The distance covered by Raju after 1.5 km = 6 km

It is given that, the charge of an Auto rickshaw for more than 1.5 km is Rs. 9.5 per kilometer.

The charge of an auto-rickshaw for 6 km = 6 × 9.5

The charge of an auto-rickshaw for 6 km = Rs. 57 

Therefore,

The money paid by the Raju for his complete journey = Minimum charge of an auto rickshaw up to 1.5 km + The charge of an auto-rickshaw for the next 6 km

The money paid by the Raju for his complete journey = Rs. 25 + Rs. 57

The money paid by the Raju for his complete journey = Rs. 82

Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 82.
