Cost of 3 cricket balls = cost of 2 pairs of leg pads. Cost of 3 pairs of leg pads = cost of 2 pairs of gloves. Cost of 3 pairs of gloves = cost of 2 cricket bats. If a cricket bat costs Rs. 54, what is the cost of a cricket ball ?

• A. Rs. 12
• B. Rs. 14
• C. Rs. 16
• D. Rs. 18

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs. 16

3G = 54 $\times$ 2 = 108 $\Rightarrow$ G = 36
3P = 36 $\times$ 2 = 72 $\Rightarrow$ P = 24
3C = 24 $\times$ 2 = 48 $\Rightarrow$ C = 16
$\therefore$~~ Cost of a cricket ball Rs. 16.
