    From a bus stand in Delhi, if we buy 2 tickets to Pitampura and 3 tickets to Dilshad Garden, the total cost is Rs 46 but if we buy 3 tickets to Pitampura and 5 tickets to Dilshad Garden, the total cost is Rs 74. Then, the fares from the bus stand to Pitampura and to Dilshad Garden is

    A) Rs 8 ; Rs 100

    B) Rs 10, Rs 8

    C) Rs 8 ; Rs 10

    D) Rs 20, Rs 5

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let fare from bus stand to Pitampura be Rs x and to Dilshad Garden be Rs y. According to the question, we have Cost of 2 tickets to Pitampura + 3 tickets to Dilshad Garden = Rs 46 and cost of 3 tickets to Pitampura + 5 tickets to Dilshad Garden = Rs 74
    \[\therefore \] We get
    \[2x+\text{ }3y=46\]                                         ...(i)
    and          \[3x+5y=74\]                         ...(ii)
    Multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 and Eq. (ii) by 2,
    we get
    \[6x+9y=138\]                                 ...(iii)
    and         \[6x+10y=148\]                   ...(iv)
    Subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
    \[y=10\]
    From Eq. (i),
    \[2x+3\left( 10 \right)=46\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,2x+30=46\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,2x=16\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,x=8\]
    Hence, the fare from the bus stand in Delhi to Pitampura is Rs 8 and the fare to Dilshad Garden is Rs 10.
