Question 42

Shatabadi Express has a capacity of 500 seats of which 10% are in the Executive Class and the rest being Chair Cars. During one journey, the train was booked to 85% of its capacity. If Executive Class was booked to 96% of its capacity, then how many Chair Car seats were empty during that journey?

Solution

Of the 500 seats, number of seats in executive class = 50 and chair cars = 450

Now, on the given journey, total seats booked = $$\frac{85}{100}\times500=425$$

Seats booked in executive class = $$\frac{96}{100}\times50=48$$

=> Seats occupied in chair car = $$425-48=377$$

$$\therefore$$Number of empty chair car seats = $$450-377=73$$

=> Ans - (B)
