(C) Let the fare for air-conditioned sleeper class be $4x$ and for ordinary sleeper class be $1x$.Let the number of passengers in air-conditioned sleeper class be $3y$ and in ordinary sleeper class be $25y$.The total collection is given by the sum of (fare $	imes$ number of passengers) for both classes.Total collection $= (4x 	imes 3y) + (1x 	imes 25y) = 12xy + 25xy = 37xy$.Given that the total collection is ₹ $37,000$,we have $37xy = 37,000$,which implies $xy = 1,000$.The amount paid by air-conditioned sleeper passengers is $4x 	imes 3y = 12xy$.Substituting $xy = 1,000$,we get $12 	imes 1,000 = ₹ 12,000$.
