    Rs. 17 and Rs. 19
    গ)
    Rs. 23 and Rs. 17
    ঘ)
    Rs. 13 and Rs. 19

    Explanation

    If fares for cities L and M from K are x and y respectively, then 2x + 3y = 77 or 6x + 9y = 231...(1) 3x + 2y = 73 or 6x + 4y = 146...(2) subtracting 2 from 1, we get 5y = 85 y = Rs. 17 => x = Rs. 13
