Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of scooter and television set is in

S : T

12 : 5

the scooter costs 14000 more than television so

the difference between their ratio is equal to 14000

=12 - 5

= 7

here we get value of 7 is equal to 14000

so value of 1 is 2000

and the television costs 5

so value of 5 = 2000*5

=10000

Hence 10000 is your answer
