Q3. Short Answer Question (3 marks)

Q 4. Long Answer Questions(5 marks)


Q 5. Case Study
It is common that Governments revise travel fares from time to time based on
various factors such as inflation ( a general increase in prices and fall in the
purchasing value of money) on different types of vehicles like auto, Rickshaws,
taxis, Radio cab etc. The auto charges in a city comprise of a fixed charge
together with the charge for the distance covered. Study the following
situations:

Situation 1: In city A, for a journey of 10 km, the charge paid is Rs 75 and for a
journey of 15 km, the charge paid is Rs 110.

Situation 2: In a city B, for a journey of 8km, the charge paid is Rs91 and for a
journey of 14km, the charge paid is Rs 145.

Refer situation 1

1. If the fixed charges of auto rickshaw be Rs x and the running charges be Rs y km/hr,
form the pair of linear equations representing the situation .
2. A person travels a distance of 50km. Find the amount he has to pay.

Refer situation 2

3. What will a person have to pay for travelling a distance of 30km?
