In FY 2017-18, if the revenue from fines increases by 20\% over FY 2015-16, what would be the ratio between the revenues from fines and freight in FY 2017-18?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. From the given data, the freight revenue in FY 2015-16 is ₹1900 crore.

2. Freight revenue increases by ₹250 crore every year. Therefore, freight revenue in FY 2017-18 is:
   $$1900 + 250 + 250 = 2400 	ext{ crore}$$

3. The revenue from fines in FY 2015-16 is ₹400 crore.

4. If fines increase by 20\% in FY 2017-18, the fines revenue will be:
   $$400 	imes \frac{120}{100} = 480 	ext{ crore}$$

5. Now, calculate the ratio of fines to freight revenue in FY 2017-18:
   $$	ext{Ratio} = \frac{480}{2400} = \frac{1}{5}$$

**Answer:** 1 : 5
