Question

The prices of a scooter and cycle are in the ratio $9:5.$ If a scooter costs $Rs.4,200$ more than a cycle. The price of cycle is

• A. $Rs.5,250$
• B. $Rs.5,200$
• C. $Rs.5,000$
• D. $Rs.4,800$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Rs.5,250$

Let cost of scooter = 9x
and Let cost of cycle = 5x
We have, 9x - 5x = 4,200
x = 1,050
$\therefore$ cost price of cycle = 5 $\times$ 1,050 = Rs. 5,250
