Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: 850
Solution: Step-by-step calculation.
Round-trip fare for one person = 2 × Rs 100 = Rs 200.
Both discounts are percentages of the total fare, so they add: 10% + 5% = 15% total discount per person.
Discount per person = 15% of Rs 200 = Rs 30. Fare per person after discounts = Rs 200 − Rs 30 = Rs 170.
Total for 5 tourists = 5 × Rs 170 = Rs 850.
Answer: Rs 850
