Anil had to travel 900 km. He hired a taxi for the first 350 km at the rate of 4.00 per km. Then he travelled by bus for 250 km and purchased a ticket of 70. He travelled the next 250 km by train and purchased a ticket of 50. Rest of the journey was performed by boat at 2 per km. What is the average cost of his journey per km ?
Total distance travelled by Anil = 900 km
Distance travelled by taxi = 350 at Rs 4/km
=> Total cost in taxi = 350*4 = Rs 1400
Distance travelled by bus = 250 at Rs 70
=> Total cost in bus = Rs 70
Distance travelled by train = 250 at Rs 50
=> Total cost in train = Rs 50
Distance travelled by boat = 900-(350+250+250) = 50 km at Rs 2/km
=> Total cost in boat = 50*2 = Rs 100
Now total cost incurred by Anil = 1400+70+50+100 = Rs 1,620
=> Average cost = $$\frac{1620}{900}$$ = Rs 1.80
