Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 15 : 11
It is given that the train ticket fare from places A to B in 2nd class AC and 3rd class AC is Rs 2,500 and Rs 2,000 respectively.
Increased fare of 2nd class AC = 2500 × 120% = 3000
Increased fare of 3rd class AC = 2000 × 110% = 2200
Required ratio = 3000 : 2200
= 15 : 11.
