b) Rs. 96,000
c) Rs.1,28,000
d) Rs. 5,00,000
Answer: b
Explanation: Let the number of passenger traveling by first class be x
Then, number of passenger traveling by second class will be 4x
But the fare is in the ratio 3 : 1
In other words, if 3y fare is collected per I class passenger, y would be collected per II class passenger
Fares of I class passengers : Fares of II class passengers
= x × 3y : 4x × y
= 3 : 4
If total fare is 3 + 4 = 7, then I class passengers should pay Rs. 3
Similarly, we can calculate the fare of I class passengers when total was 224000
| Total Fare | Class Fare |
| 7 | 3 |
| 224000 | ? |
= $$224000 \times \frac{3}{7}$$
= Rs. 96000
