Solution:

Ratio of the railway fares of airconditioned and ordinary sleeper classes = 4 : 1
Ratio of the corresponding number of passengers = 3 : 25
Corresponding compound ratio
= 4 × 3 : 1 × 25
= 12 : 25
Sum of the terms of ratio
= 12 + 25 = 37
∴ Total fare of the passengers of airconditioned sleeper classes = Rs.

({12}/{37}×37000)

= Rs. 12000
