Let the total number of vehicles that passed Dankuni Toll Plaza on the 3rd October 2022 be x.

The number of Heavy Vehicles was 25% of the total vehicles.

Also the toll rate per Heavy Vehicle = Rs 455

So, x*(25/100)*455 = 546000

or, x = (546000*4)/455

or, x = 4800

Hence, the total number of vehicles that passed Dankuni Toll Plaza on the given date = 4800

The number of Cars was 15% of the total vehicles, that is, 4800*(15/100) = 720

The number of LCVs was 18% of the total vehicles, that is, 4800*(18/100) = 864

The toll amount collected from Cars = 720*105 = Rs 75,600

The toll amount collected from LCVs = 864*140 = Rs 1,20,960

Hence, the total toll amount collected from Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) at the Dankuni Toll Plaza on the 3rd October 2022 = (75,600 + 1,20,960) = Rs 1,96,560
