A railway half-ticket costs half the full ticket. However the reservation charge for all the tickets is constant. One full reserved ticket for a journey is Rs.525. If the cost of one full and one half reserved ticket for the same journey is Rs.850, then what is the reservation charge per ticket?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Let fare = F, reservation = R.

Full ticket: F + R = 525.

Full + half: (F + R) + (F/2 + R) = 850, so 525 + F/2 + R = 850, giving F/2 + R = 325.

Subtracting: F/2 = 525 - 325 = 200, so F = 400 and R = 525 - 400 = 125.

Reservation charge = Rs. 125.
