Detailed Solution

Saritha paid Rs 27 for a book kept for 7 days
And Susy paid Rs 21 for a book she kept for 5 days.
Suppose fixed charge = X Rs.
And extra charge = Y Rs.
Here,

x + 4 y = 27 ⟶ (i)

x + 2 y = 21 \to (ii)

Eq.(i) – eq. (ii), we get

2 y = 6

y = 3

Put the value of y in Eq. (i)

x + 4 (3) = 27

x = 15

Therefore,

x =

Rs. 15 and

y = Rs . 3

Thus, the Fixed charge = Rs. 15 and charge for each extra day = Rs. 3.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
