Solution

To calculate the bus fare, we need to follow these steps:

  1. First, calculate the total cost of the journey. The cost per passenger km is 0.25 Rs and the distance between the two cities is 100 km. So, the total cost is 0.25 Rs/km * 100 km = 25 Rs.

  2. The profit expected is 50% of the fare income. This means the cost of 25 Rs is 50% of the total fare. So, to calculate the total fare, we need to divide the cost by the percentage of profit (50% or 0.5).

    So, the bus fare = 25 Rs / 0.5 = 50 Rs.

Therefore, the bus fare will be 50 Rs.
