The bus fare between two cities is increased in the ratio 9 : 11. What is the increase in the fare, if the original fare is Rs. 675? Correct Answer Rs. 150

Short Trick:

Increase in the fare = 675 × (2/9) = Rs. 150

Detailed Solution:

Let the original fare and increased fare be 9x and 11x respectively

⇒ 9x = 675

⇒ x = 675/9 = 75

Increased fare = 11 × 75 = Rs. 825

∴ Increase in fare = 825 – 675 = Rs. 150
