situations:
Situation 1: In city A, for a journey of 10 km, the charge paid is Rs 75 and for
a journey of 15 km, the charge paid is Rs 110.
Situation 2: In a city B, for a journey of 8km, the charge paid is Rs91 and for a
journey of 14km, the charge paid is Rs 145.
1. If the fixed charges of auto rickshaw be Rs x and the running charges be
Rs y km/hr, the pair of linear equations representing the situation is
