The telephone bill of a certain establishment is party fixed and partly varies as the number of calls consumed. When in a certain month 540 calls made the bill is Rs.1800. In another month 620 calls are consumed then the bill becomes Rs.2040. In another month 500 units are consumed due to more
holidays. The bill for that month would be :
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Let the fixed amount be Rs. X and the cost of each unit be Rs. Y.
Then, 540y + x = 1800 …. And 620y + x = 2040
On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get 80y = 240 -> y = 3
Putting y = 3 in (i) we get :
540 * 3 + x = 1800 x = (1800-1620) = 180
. : Fixed charges = Rs.180, Charge per unit = Rs.3.
Total charges for consuming 500 units = 180 +(500*3) = Rs.1680
