Detailed Solution

Given that the charges of different tickets are one reserved first class ticket from the stations A  to B   costs Rs 2530. Also, one reserved first class ticket and one reserved first class half ticket from stations A   to B   costs Rs 3810.
Let the cost of full first-class fare be x Then, the cost of half first-class fare is x 2  . Also, let reservation charges be y per ticket.
The cost of one reserved first-class ticket from the station's A to B
=2530 x+y=2530(i)   The cost of one reserved first-class ticket and one reserved first-class half ticket from stations A to B =3810
x+y+ x 2 +y=3810 3x 2 +2y=3810 3x+4y=7620(ii)  
Solving above equations, we get x=2500, y=30.
Therefore, the cost of full first-class fare is Rs2500 and reservation charges is Rs30.
Hence, option (4) is correct.
