While traveling by bus, a man spent Rs. 60 more than 10 times the fare he paid for an auto rickshaw. The total amount spent by him is 13 times the fare he paid for an auto rickshaw. What total amount of money was spent on Bus as well as Auto rickshaw by the man? Correct Answer Rs 390

Let, Man spend fare for auto rickshaw = a ------(i)

Then, Man spend fare for Bus = 10a + 60 Rs ------(ii)

Total amount spent by him = 13a ------(iii)

According to question,

Eq (i) + Eq (ii) = Eq(iii)

a + 10a + 60 = 13a

2a = 60

a = 30

Man spend fare for auto rickshaw = 30 Rs

Man spend fare for Bus = 300 + 60 = 360 Rs

Total amount of money was spent on Bus as well as Auto rickshaw by the man = 360 + 30

= 390 Rs

Hence, 390 is the correct answer.
