Detailed Solution

Given,
Charges for the journey of 150 km =Rs.2550  .
Let charges for a journey of 124 km be Rs. x.
Then,

Price (in Rs.)

2550

x

Distance (in km)

150

124

We can clearly observe that the lesser the distance traveled, the less will be the price.
As this is the case of direct proportion, the ratio will remain constant throughout the table,
2550 150 = x 124   Cross multiplying,
2550×124=150×x    Solving for x,
x= 2550×124 150 x=2108   Hence, charges for a journey of 124 km is Rs.2108.
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
