Answer :
Let's solve the given problems step-by-step with clear explanations for each part.
### (a) Taxi Fare for One-way Daily Travel
The businessman uses a taxi to travel from home to the water treatment industry, which is 12 kilometers away. The taxi fare structure is:
- An initial charge of Rs. 14
- An additional charge of Rs. 39 per kilometer
To find the total fare for a one-way trip, we calculate as follows:
1. Initial charge: Rs 14
2. Additional charge for 12 km: [tex]\( 12 \, km \times Rs. 39 \, per \, km = Rs. 468 \)[/tex]
Total fare [tex]\( = Rs. 14 + Rs. 468 = Rs. 482 \)[/tex]
### (b) Water Tariff for Monthly Usage
The company uses 15,00,000 liters of water in a month. The water tariff structure is:
- Minimum consumption: 8,81,000 liters
- Minimum charge for this consumption: Rs. 62,240
- Additional charge for consumption beyond the minimum: Rs. 71 per 1,000 liters (1 unit)
To find the total water charges:
1. Calculate the excess water usage:
[tex]\[ 15,00,000 \, liters - 8,81,000 \, liters = 6,19,000 \, liters \][/tex]
2. Convert excess usage into units:
[tex]\[ 6,19,000 \, liters \div 1,000 = 619 \, units \][/tex]
3. Calculate the additional charge for excess usage:
[tex]\[ 619 \, units \times Rs. 71 \, per \, unit = Rs. 43,949 \][/tex]
Total water charges [tex]\( = Rs. 62,240 + Rs. 43,949 = Rs. 1,06,189 \)[/tex]
### (c) Maximum Number of Phone Calls within Rs. 1000 Budget
The businessman can make phone calls with the following rate structure:
- Minimum charge for the first 175 calls: Rs. 200
- Additional charge for each call beyond the first 175: Rs. 1 per call
To find the maximum number of calls within a Rs. 1000 budget:
1. Calculate the remaining budget after the minimum charge:
[tex]\[ Rs. 1000 - Rs. 200 = Rs. 800 \][/tex]
2. Calculate the number of additional calls that can be made with the remaining budget:
[tex]\[ Rs. 800 \div Rs. 1 \, per \, call = 800 \, calls \][/tex]
3. Add the initial 175 calls to the additional calls:
[tex]\[ 175 \, calls + 800 \, calls = 975 \, calls \][/tex]
In conclusion:
(a) The daily one-way taxi fare is Rs. 482.
(b) The total water tariff for the month's usage is Rs. 1,06,189.
(c) The maximum number of phone calls that can be made within a Rs. 1000 budget is 975 calls.
