The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the expenses into fixed and variable components. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - \( F \) = Fixed expenses of the hotel - \( V \) = Variable expense per guest ### Step 2: Set up the equations based on the given data 1. When there are 10 guests, the total expenses are ₹6000: \[ F + 10V = 6000 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. When there are 25 guests, the average expenses per guest are ₹360. Therefore, the total expenses when there are 25 guests can be calculated as: \[ \text{Total Expenses} = 25 \times 360 = 9000 \] Thus, we have: \[ F + 25V = 9000 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the equations Now we have a system of two equations: 1. \( F + 10V = 6000 \) 2. \( F + 25V = 9000 \) We can subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 to eliminate \( F \): \[ (F + 25V) - (F + 10V) = 9000 - 6000 \] This simplifies to: \[ 15V = 3000 \] Now, divide both sides by 15: \[ V = 200 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( V \) back to find \( F \) Now that we have \( V \), we can substitute it back into Equation 1 to find \( F \): \[ F + 10(200) = 6000 \] This simplifies to: \[ F + 2000 = 6000 \] Subtract 2000 from both sides: \[ F = 4000 \] ### Step 5: Calculate total expenses for 40 guests Now we can find the total expenses when there are 40 guests: \[ \text{Total Expenses} = F + 40V \] Substituting the values of \( F \) and \( V \): \[ \text{Total Expenses} = 4000 + 40(200) \] Calculating \( 40(200) \): \[ 40(200) = 8000 \] So, \[ \text{Total Expenses} = 4000 + 8000 = 12000 \] ### Final Answer The total expenses of the hotel when there are 40 guests is **₹12000**. ---
