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.
