    Question

    A bus ticket costs ₹24,800 for a capacity of 800 seats. It incurs ₹8,000 in transportation expenses. To earn a profit of ₹10 per seat, at what price should each seat be sold?

    A.

    ₹51

    B.

    ₹12

    C.

    ₹76

    D.

    ₹32

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Ticket cost for 800 seats = ₹24,800
    Transportation expenses = ₹8,000
    Profit per seat = ₹10
    Total seats = 800
    Solution:
    Total Cost = ₹24,800 + ₹8,000 = ₹32,800
    Total Profit = 10 × 800 = ₹8,000
    Selling Price per Seat = 32,800+8,000800=40,800800 \frac{₹32,800 + ₹8,000}{800} = \frac{₹40,800}{800}​ = ₹51
    Thus, The selling price per seat should be ₹51.
