Jet airlines have business and economic class in planes to New York. On 2nd of Jan, number of passengers in business and economic class were 3 : 7.the fare charged for business to economic class is in the ratio 5 : 3. If the total fare collected from these classes were Rs. 241920, how much fare was collected from economic class? Correct Answer 141120
⇒ Passengers in business : economic class = 3 : 7
⇒ Fare in business : economic class = 5 : 3
Suppose 3x and 7x passengers travel by business and economic class respectively and 5y and 3y is the fare collected per business class and per economic class passenger respectively.
⇒ Fares of 3x passengers : fares of 7x passengers = 3x × 5y : 7x × 3y = 5 : 7
⇒ Total fare collected was Rs. 241920
∴ Fare collected from economic class = 7/(7 + 5) × 241920 = 141120
