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.
