This is the basic and conceptual question from linear equations in two variables in which we have to find the fixed charges and rate of per km if taxi charges in a city consist of fixed charges and the remaining depending upon the distance travelled in kilometers. If men travels 80km, he pays Rs1330, and travelling 90km he pays Rs1490.
Kindly give me a detailed solution of this question
Book- RS Aggarwal, Class 10, chapter 3E, question no 26
Let the fixed charge be x and rate per km be y
So, x+80y=1330x+90y=1490
Subtracting above Equations from each other
10y=160⇒y=16
and x+80∗16=1330⇒x=1330−1280=50
