18. Jodhpur is the second-largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan and officially the second
metropolitan city of the state. Jodhpur was historically the capital of the Kingdom of Marwar,
which is now part of Rajasthan. Jodhpur is a popular tourist destination, featuring many
palaces, forts, and temples, set in the stark landscape of the Thar Desert. It is popularly
known as the “Blue City” among people of Rajasthan and all over India. The old city circles
the Mehrangarh Fort and is bounded by a wall with several gates. The city has expanded
greatly outside the wall, though, over the past several decades. Jodhpur is also known for
the rare breed of horses known as Marwari or Malani, which are only found here

Last year we visited Jodhpur in a group of 25 friends. When we went mehrangarh fort we
found following fare for ride :
Ride Normal hours Peak hours Fare

horses hired and y be the number elephants hired. Which of the following is the correct
system of equation that model the problem ?
