Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, it is given that;

The cost of a cricket bat is Rs 54.

∵ Cost of a cricket bat is Rs 54.

∴ Cost of 2 cricket bats is Rs 2×54=108 .

Cost of 2 cricket bat = cost of 3 pairs of gloves=108.

∵Cost of 3 pairs of gloves is Rs 108.

∴ Cost of a pair of gloves is Rs1083=36.

∴ Cost of 2 pairs of gloves is Rs2×36=72.

Cost of 2 pairs of gloves = cost of 3 pairs of leg pads 72.

∵ Cost of 3 pairs of leg pads is Rs 72.

∴ Cost of a pair of leg pads is Rs723=24.

∴ Cost of 2 pairs of leg pad is Rs 2×24=48

Cost of 2 pairs of leg pads = cost of 3 cricket balls= 48.

∵ Cost of 3 cricket balls is Rs 48.

∴ Cost of a cricket ball is Rs483=16.

So the cost of a cricket ball is Rs 16.
