योग

उत्तर

According to the given information,

Increased (new) bus fare = `9/7` × original bus fare

i. We have:

Increased (new) bus fare = `9/7` × Rs. 245 = Rs. 315

 ∴ Increase in fare = Rs. 315 – Rs. 245 = Rs. 70

ii. We have:

Rs. `207 = 9/7` × original bus fare

Original bus fare = Rs. `207 xx 7/9` = Rs. 161

 ∴ Increase in fare = Rs. 207 – Rs. 161 = Rs. 46
