A transport company charges for its vehicles in the following manner:
If the driving is 5 hours or less, the company charges Rs. 60 per hour or Rs. 12 per km (which ever is larger) If driving is more than 5 hours, the company charges Rs. 50 per hour or Rs. 7.5 per km (which ever is larger)
If Anand drove it for 30 km and paid a total of Rs. 300, then for how many hours does he drive?
Explanation:
The rent of the car = Maximum (number of hours × charge per hour, km travelled × charge per km)
Case 1: Anand drove the Car for 5 hours or less ∴ Rent = Maxima(300, 30 × 12) = 360
Case 2: Anand drove the Car for more than 5 hours ∴ Rent = Maxima(300, 7.5 × 30) = 300
∵ Anand paid Rs. 300 as rent.
∴ Anand drove for 6 hours.
Hence, option (d).
