Correct Answer: Rs. 12000


Solution : The ratio of fares for air-conditioned classes to ordinary classes = 4 : 1
The ratio of the number of passengers in air-conditioned classes to ordinary classes = 3 : 25
Corresponding compounding ratio = (4 × 3) : (1 × 25) = 12 : 25
The sum of the terms of the ratio = 12 + 25 = 37
The total collection was Rs. 37000.
Total fare of the passengers in air-conditioned sleeper classes = $\frac{12}{37}$ × 37000 = 12000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 12000.
