Solution

The correct option is A Rs 20000
Let the prices of scooter be 7x and tv set be 5x.
the difference between the two prices is 7x-5x=2x,
According to the question.
$2 x = 8000$
$x = 4000.$
so price of scooter is $7 x = 7 \times 4000 = 28000$
and price of tv set is $5 x = 5 \times 4000 = 20000$
