On selling 26 balls for ₹1,350, there is a loss equal to the cost price of eight balls. The cost price of a ball is :

Options:

₹70

₹65

₹60

₹75

Correct Answer:

₹75

Explanation:

Let the cost price of one ball = m

Now selling 26 balls for Rs. 1,350, there is a loss equal to the cost price of eight balls

Cost price of 26 balls = 26m,

loss = 8m

Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price

= 8m = 26m – 1350

= 18m = 1350

= m = 75
