37 It is common that Governments revise travel fares from time to time based
on various factors such as inflation ( a general increase in prices and fall in the
purchasing value of money) on different types of vehicles like auto, Rickshaws, taxis,
Radio cab etc. The auto charges in a city comprise of a fixed charge together with
the charge for the distance covered. Study the following situations.

Name of the Distance travelled (Km) Amount paid (Rs.)

city
City A 10 75
