Answer»

The correct answer is (B) 92.86%

Best explanation: The answer is 92.86%. Given number of PASSENGERS travelling = 130, seating capacity=140 and a yield of 7.9.

We know percentage LOAD factor=\(\frac{no. \, of \, passengers \,travelling*distance \,travelled}{no. \,of \, seats*distance \, travelled}\) x 100%

On substituting the VALUES,

Load factor=\(\frac{130*990}{140*990}\) x 100%

Load factor=92.86%.
