Question

    Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions. A train has four types of coaches – General, sleeper. First class and 3 AC. On a platform two trains – Train P and train Q are standing. Train P has 800 passengers, which is 60% more than the passengers in train Q. One – fourth of the total number of passengers of train Q are in general coach. 32% of the remaining passengers of train Q are in 3 AC coach. 28% of the passengers of train Q are in sleeper class. The total number of passengers in 3AC coaches of both the trains is 420. 40% of the total number of passengers of train P are in sleeper class. 10% of the total passengers of train P are in first class coach.

    If the ratio of the cost of a ticket of general class to that of first class is 2 :3, then find the  ratio of the revenue earned from general class and first class of train P to that from the same classes of train Q. Assume that the fare remains the same for a particular type of coach in both the trains.
