CBSE Class 10 Answered
The taxi charges in a city consist of a fixed charge together with the charge for the distance covered. For a distance of 10 km, the charge paid is 105 and for a journey of 15 km, the charge paid is 155. How much does a person have to pay for traveling a distance of 25 km?

Expert Answer
Let us consider the taxi chanrges as y and it is given by, y = mx + c .....................(1)
where c is the fixed charge, m is fare per distance of 1 km and x is the distance travelled.
If fare is Rs.105 for 10 km : 10m + c = 105 ......................( 2 )
If fare is Rs.155 for 15 km : 15m + c = 155 ......................( 3 )
by subtracting eqn.(2) from eqn.(3) , we get 5m = 50 or m = Rs.10
by substituting m value in eqn.(2), we get, 10(10) + c = 105 or c = Rs.5
fare for 25 km is obtained by substituting respective values of variables in eqn.(1) : 25(10) + 5 = Rs.255
