      A Rs. 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 325 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the first class fare and second class fare be 5x and x, respectively. Let the number of passengers travelling by first class and second class be y and 50y, respectively. Amount collected from first class passengers = 5x × y = 5xy Amount collected from second class passengers = x × 50y = 50xy Total fare collected = 5xy + 50xy = 55xy According to the question, 55xy = 2200 So, xy = 2200 Ă· 55 = 40 Amount collected from first class passengers = 5xy = 5 × 40 = Rs. 200
