A person covers the different distances by train, bus, and car in the ratio of 4: 3: 2. The ratio of the fare is 1: 2: 4 per km. The total expenditure as a fare is Rs 720. Find the total expenditure as fare on the train.

Options:

160

170

140

150

Correct Answer:

160

Explanation:

Ratio of distance by train, bus and car → 4: 3: 2

Ratio of fare → 1: 2: 4 

Ratio of total fare by train, bus and car: 4: 6: 8 → 2: 3: 4

The total expenditure as fare is Rs 720, thus, the total expenditure as fare on the train is \(\frac{ 2}{9 }\) x 720

The total expenditure as fare on train = 160
