    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the travel bike is rented for 8 hours or less. Then the number of hours it is rented for 800/100 = 8 hours But if it charged Rs.8/km,  the amount that should paid be 120(8) = 960 But he paid only Rs.800 The travel bike is rented for more than 8 hours Number of hours = 800/80  = 10 hours If it is charged at Rs.6/km,  the amount that should paid be 120(6) = Rs.720 which is less than s. 800 Adarsh rented bike for 10 hours.
