Question : The price of a bat and a ball are in the ratio 9 : 5. The price of the bat is Rs. 380 more than the price of the ball. Find the price of the ball.
Option 1: Rs. 470
Option 2: Rs. 485
Option 3: Rs. 475
Option 4: Rs. 480
Correct Answer: Rs. 475
Solution :
Let the common ratio as $x$.
So, the price of the bat is $9x$ and the price of the ball is $5x$.
According to the problem, the price of the bat is Rs. 380 more than the price of the ball.
$⇒9x = 5x + 380$
$⇒4x = 380$
$⇒x = 95$
So, the price of the ball = $5x$ = 5 × 95 = Rs. 475
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 475.
