    A telephone company charges Rs. 0.05 per minute for local calls and Rs. 0.12 per minute for long distance calls. Which expression gives the total cost in rupees for "x" minutes of local calls and "y" minutes a long distance calls?

    A)  \[0.05\text{ }x\text{ }+\text{ }0.12y~\]  

    B)  \[0.05x\text{ }-\text{ }0.12y\]

    C)  \[0.17(x+y)\]                    

    D)  \[0.17\text{ }xy\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Charge per minute for local call = Rs. 0.05 Number of local calls = x minutes. \[\therefore \] Charge for local calls = Rs. (0.05 x) Charge per minute for long distance calls = Rs. 0.12 Number of long distance calls = y \[\therefore \] Charge of long distance calls = Rs. (0.12 y) Therefore, the required expression for total cost = Rs. \[(0.05x+0.12y)\]
