A Correct answer
Explanation

Original revenue = 180 * 2200 = 396,000. New price = 180 * (10/9) = 200. New revenue = 200 * 2200 = 440,000. Increase = 440,000 - 396,000 = 44,000.

AI explanation

The ratio 9 : 10 means the ticket price increased by 1 ratio unit, so the revenue increase is 1/9 of the original total revenue. The original fare was Rs. 180 and 2200 tickets were sold, making the original total revenue 180 * 2200 = 396000. The increase in revenue is (1/9) * 396000 = Rs. 44000.
