Question. A railway half ticket cost half the full fare but the reservation charges are the same on a half ticket as on a full ticket. One reserved first class ticket costs ₹ 2530. One reserved first class ticket and one reserved first class half ticket from stations A to B costs ₹ 3810. Find the full first class fare from stations A to B and also the reservation charges for a ticket.
Ans. Let the cost of full and half ticket be ₹ x & ₹ x/2 and reservation charge by ₹ y per ticket.
