(1)5050
5500 (3) 5000 (4) 5250​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

∴ cost price of cycle = 5 × 1,050 = Rs. 5,250

Answer 2

Answer:

⇒ Given :-

The prices of a cycle and a scooter are the ratio of 9 : 5.

⇒ To Find :-

If a cycle costs Rs.4200 more than a scooter, what is the price of scooter?

⇒ Solution :-

The cost of the cycle = Rs. 9x

The cost of the scooter = Rs. 5x

According to the question,

= 9x - 5x = 4200

∴ 4x = 4200 = x = \sf{\frac{4200}{4} = 1050

∴ Cost of scooter 5 x 1050 = Rs. 5250

Option (d) is correct.
