Two train tickets from city X to Y and three tickets from city X to Z cost Rs. 77 but three tickets from city X to Y and two tickets from city X to Z cost Rs. 73. What are the fares Z or cities Y and Z from X respectively? Correct Answer Rs. 13, Rs. 17
From the given information in question-
2XY + 3XZ = 77 ...(1)
3XY + 2XZ = 73 ...(2)
After adding both the above equations-
5XY + 5XZ = 150
XY + XZ = 30 ...(3)
Here, Only Option (2) satisfies the above equation.
Hence, Option (2) is correct.
