⇒ Let the new fare between two cities be Rs x
⇒ Original fare/New fare = 5/7
⇒ 625/x = 5/7
⇒ x = (7 × 625)/5 = 125 × 7
⇒ x = Rs. 875
∴ Increase in fare = new fare – original fare = 875 – 625 = Rs. 250
⇒ Original fare/New fare = 5/7
⇒ 625/x = 5/7
⇒ x = (7 × 625)/5 = 125 × 7
⇒ x = Rs. 875
∴ Increase in fare = new fare – original fare = 875 – 625 = Rs. 250
