Solution

It is given that
Ratio between the prices of a scooter and a refrigerator = 4: 1
Cost of scooter = ₹ 45,000
Consider the cost of scooter = 4x
Cost of refrigerator = 1x
Using the condition
Cost of scooter > Cost of refrigerator
4x – 1x = 45000
On further calculation
3x = 45000
So we get
x = 45000/3 = ₹ 15000
So the price of refrigerator = ₹ 15000
