Solutions for Ratio and Proportion SSC CGL PDF:

Let original fare = Rs. $$x$$
=> New fare = Rs. $$2x$$
Also, original fare = $$175 = x$$
$$\therefore$$ Increase in fare = $$2x – x = x$$
= $$1 \times 175 = Rs. 175$$
=> Ans – (D)

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 9 and and number of visitors = 70
=> Original revenue = 9 $$\times$$ 70 = Rs 630
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 13 and number of visitors = 40
=> New Revenue = 13 $$\times$$ 40 = Rs 520
Since, new revenue is less than original revenue, thus total collection has decreased.
$$\therefore$$ Decrease in total collection ratio = $$\frac{630}{520}$$ = 63 : 52
=> Ans – (C)

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 11 and and number of visitors = 190
=> Original revenue = 11 $$\times$$ 190 = Rs 2090
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 16 and number of visitors = 90
=> New Revenue = 16 $$\times$$ 90 = Rs 1440
Since, new revenue is smaller than original revenue, thus total collection has decreased.
$$\therefore$$ Decrease of total collection ratio = $$\frac{2090}{1440}$$ = 209 : 144
=> Ans – (A)

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 13 and and number of visitors = 110
=> Original revenue = 13 $$\times$$ 110 = Rs 1430
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 16 and number of visitors = 90
=> New Revenue = 16 $$\times$$ 90 = Rs 1440
Since, new revenue is greater than original revenue, thus total collection has increased.
$$\therefore$$ Increase of total collection ratio = $$\frac{1430}{1440}$$ = 143 : 144

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 3 and and number of visitors = 160
=> Original revenue = 3 $$\times$$ 160 = Rs 480
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 7 and number of visitors = 130
=> New Revenue = 7 $$\times$$ 130 = Rs 910
Since, new revenue is greater than original revenue, thus total collection has increased.
$$\therefore$$ Increase of total collection ratio = $$\frac{480}{910}$$ = 48 : 91
=> Ans – (B)

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 5 and and number of visitors = 110
=> Original revenue = 5 $$\times$$ 110 = Rs 550
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 7 and number of visitors = 90
=> New Revenue = 7 $$\times$$ 90 = Rs 630
Since, new revenue is greater than original revenue, thus total collection has increased.
$$\therefore$$ Increase of total collection ratio = $$\frac{550}{630}$$ = 55 : 63
=> Ans – (A)

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 17 and and number of visitors = 110
=> Original revenue = 17 $$\times$$ 110 = Rs 1870
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 19 and number of visitors = 100
=> New Revenue = 19 $$\times$$ 100 = Rs 1900
Since, new revenue is greater than original revenue, thus total collection has increased.
$$\therefore$$ Increase of total collection ratio = $$\frac{1870}{1900}$$ = 187 : 190
=> Ans – (B)

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 3 and and number of visitors = 70
=> Original revenue = 3 $$\times$$ 70 = Rs 210
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 5 and number of visitors = 20
=> New Revenue = 5 $$\times$$ 20 = Rs 100
Since, new revenue is smaller than original revenue, thus total collection has decreased.
$$\therefore$$ Decrease in total collection ratio = $$\frac{210}{100}$$ = 21 : 10
=> Ans – (C)

Let cost of original ticket = Rs 7 and and number of visitors = 90
=> Original revenue = 7 $$\times$$ 90 = Rs 630
After increase in cost of ticket
New cost of ticket = Rs 17 and number of visitors = 50
=> New Revenue = 17 $$\times$$ 50 = Rs 850
Since, new revenue is greater than original revenue, thus total collection has increased.
$$\therefore$$ Increase of total collection ratio = $$\frac{630}{850}$$ = 63 : 85
=> Ans – (C)

Let original fare = Rs. $$11x$$
=> New fare = Rs. $$18x$$
Also, original fare = $$550 = 11x$$
=> $$x = \frac{550}{11} = 50$$
$$\therefore$$ Increase in fare = $$18x – 11x = 7x$$
= $$7 \times 50 = Rs. 350$$
