CAT 2007 — DILR Question 17
Answer the following question based on the information given below.
A low-cost airline company connects ten Indian cities, A to J. The table below gives the distance between a pair of airports and the corresponding price charged by the company. Travel is permitted only from a departure airport to an arrival airport. The customers do not travel by a route where they have to stop at more than two intermediate airports.
âââââââ
If the prices include a margin of 15% over the total cost that the company incurs, which among the following is the distance to be covered in flying from A to J that minimizes the total cost per kilometer for the company?
Answer & solution
- A
2170
- B
2180
- C
2315
2350
- E
2390
Even if the margin for the prices changes the minimum cost per km would correspond to the same route namely A-H-J.
∴ From the table, the distance for the travel = 2350 km
Hence, option (d).
