Taxi charges in a city consist of fixed charges and the remaining charges
depend upon the distance travelled. For a journey of 10 km, the charge
paid is < 75 and for a journey of 15 km, the charge paid is < 110. Find
the fixed charge and charges per km. Hence, find the charge of covering a
distance of 35 km.
