Correct Answer: 15 : 11


Solution : The new fare for the 2nd class AC after a 20% increase would be = 1.20 × 2500 = Rs. 3000
The new fare for the 3rd class AC after a 10% increase would be = 1.10 × 2000 = Rs. 2200
Therefore, the ratio of the new fares of 2nd class AC to 3rd class AC = 3000 : 2200 = 30 : 22 = 15 : 11
Hence, the correct answer is 15 : 11.
