\n" ); document.write( "The language isn't clear; but I believe you are asking for the amount of increase in the fare....

\n" ); document.write( "The ratio 5:7 means we can represent the old fare by 5x and the new fare by 7x; the amount of increase in the fare is 7x-5x = 2x.

\n" ); document.write( "The new fare, 7x, is rs. 1421:

\n" ); document.write( "\"7x+=+1421\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+203\"

\n" ); document.write( "The amount of increase in the fare is 2x = 2 * rs. 203 = rs. 406.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
