Question:
The railway fare for 61 km is Rs 183. Find the fare for 53 km.
Solution:
Let Rs x be the railway fare for a journey of distance 53 km.
The lesser the distance, the lesser will be the fare.
So, it is a case of direct proportion .
Now, $\frac{61}{183}=\frac{53}{x}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{53 \times 183}{61}$
$\Rightarrow x=159$
The railway fare for a journey of distance 53 km is Rs 159.
