A railway half ticket cost half the full fare but the reservation charges are the same on a half ticket as on a full ticket. One reserved first class ticket from
the stations A to B costs ₹ 2530. Also, one reserved first class ticket and one reserved first class half ticket from stations A to B costs ₹ 3810. Find the
full first class fare from stations A to B and also the reservation charges for a ticket.
Let the cost of full and half first class fare be $₹ \frac{X}{2}$ and $₹$ respectively and reservation charges be $₹$ y per ticket.
Case I The cost of one reserved first class ticket from the stations $A$ to $B$
$=₹ 2530$
$\Rightarrow \quad x+y=2530$ ....(i)
Case II The cost of one reserved first class ticket and one reserved first class half ticket from stations $A$ to $B=₹ 3810$
$\Rightarrow \quad x+y+\frac{x}{2}+y=3810$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{3 x^{2}}{2}+2 y=3810$
$\Rightarrow \quad 3 x+4 y=7620$ ...(ii)
Now, multiplying Eq. (i) by 4 and then subtracting from Eq. (ii), we get
$-x=-2500$
$\Rightarrow \quad x=2500$
On putting the value of $x$ in Eq. (i), we get
$2500+v=2530$
$\Rightarrow \quad y=2530-2500$
$\Rightarrow \quad y=30$
Hence, full first class fare from stations A to 6 is ₹ 2500 and the reservation for a ticket is ₹30.
