Answer: Rs. 60,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the ratio be x : 4x :: scooter : fridge.
Therefore, the price of the scooter is x, and the price of the fridge is 4x.
According to the question, we can say that x + 45,000 = 4x.
⇒ x + 45000 = 4x
⇒ 45000 = 4x - x
⇒ 45000 = 3x
⇒ 45000 ÷ 3 = x
⇒ 15000 = x
Now, as we know that the fridge costs 4x, we can substitute x with 15000, and get our answer which is 4 X 15000 = 60,000.
Hence, the fridge costs Rs. 60,000.
