The ratio between the number of passengers travelling by $I^{st}$ and $II^{nd}$ class between the two railway stations is $1 : 50$, where as the ratio of $I^{st}$ and $II^{nd}$ class fares between the same stations is $3 : 1$. If on a particular day, $Rs. 1325$ were collected from the passengers travelling between these stations by these classes, then what was the amount collected from the $II^{nd}$ class passengers?

The total revenue is found by multiplying the number of passengers by the fare for each class, so the ratio of the amounts collected is 1*3 : 50*1, which is 3:50. This means the total revenue consists of 53 parts, out of which the second class accounts for 50 parts. The amount collected from the second class is (50/53) * 1325 = 1250. The amount collected from the IIInd class passengers was Rs. 1250.
