The price of a scooter and a television set are in the ratio $3:2$ .If a scooter costs Rs.$6000$ more than the television set, the price of the television set is _____ .

• A. Rs $6000$
• B. Rs.$10000$
• C. Rs.$12000$
• D. Rs.$18000$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs.$12000$

$\Rightarrow$ Ratio of scooter and television is $3:2.$

$\Rightarrow$ Let the price of a scooter be $Rs.3x$ and that of a television set $Rs.2x.$

$\Rightarrow$ Then, $3x-2x=6000$

$\therefore$ $x=6000$

$\Rightarrow$ Cost of a television set = $2x=Rs.(2\times 6000)=Rs.12000$.

$\therefore$ Price of television set is $Rs.12000.$
