CASE STUDY - III :
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, Richshaws, 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.
Name of the city Distance travelled (Km) Amount paid (Rs.)
City A 10 75
15 110
City B 8 91
14 145

CASE STUDY - II ANSWERS
1. Area of two bedrooms = 10x sq.m
Area of kitchen = 5y sq.m
10x + 5y = 95
2x + y = 19
Also, x + 2 + y = 15
x + y = 13
2. Length of outer boundary = 12 + 15 + 12 + 15 = 54 m
3. On solving two equation part (i)
x = 6m and y = 7m
area of bedroom = 5 × 6 = 30m
area of kitchen = 5 × 7 = 35m
4. Area of living room = (15 × 7) – 30 = 105 – 30 = 75 sq.m
5. Total cost of laying tiles in the kitchen = Rs 50 × 35 = Rs 1750
