• A. 125
• B. 127
• C. 124
• D. 126

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 124

The average earning of each vehicle for one round trip is ₹124.

1. Calculate Total Vehicles

• Number of Cars = 3

• Number of Maxi Cabs = 2

• Total Vehicles = $3 + 2 = 5$ vehicles

2. Calculate Earnings from Cars

• Total seats in 3 cars (4 seats each) = $3 \times 4 = 12$ seats

• At 100% occupancy, there are 12 passengers.

• Rate per passenger in a car = ₹25

• Total Car Earnings = $12 \times 25 = 300$

3. Calculate Earnings from Maxi Cabs

• Total seats in 2 maxi cabs (8 seats each) = $2 \times 8 = 16$ seats

• At 100% occupancy, there are 16 passengers.

• Rate per passenger in a maxi cab = ₹20.

• Total Maxi Cab Earnings = $16 \times 20 = 320$

4. Calculate Average Earning per Vehicle

• Total Earnings Combined = $₹300 + ₹320 = ₹620$

• Average Earning = $\frac{\text{Total Earnings}}{\text{Total Vehicles}} = \frac{620}{5} = \mathbf{124}$
