Given:

Capacity of Truck = 50

Capacity of Bus = 30

Ticket for Bus = Rs. 1, Ticket for Truck = Rs. 1.5

(Speed of Truck) : (Speed of Bus) = 3 : 1

(Occupancy of Bus) : (Occupancy of Truck) = 2 : 1

Formula Used:

Average Rupee collection = Speed × capacity × Occupancy × Ticket rate

Calculation:

Ratio of average Rupee collection of truck to that of bus = Product of above rates

(3 × 50 × 1 × 1.5) : (1 × 30 × 2 × 1)

15 : 4
