Question:

On selling 33 balls at Rs.725, there is a loss equal to the cost price of 8 balls. The cost price of a ball is:

Options:

Rs.20

Rs.39

Rs.29

Rs.30

Correct Answer:

Rs.29

Explanation:

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

C.P. of 8 = C.P. of 33 - S.P. of 33

C.P. of 25 = S.P. of 33

Here, S.P. of 33 balls = Rs.725 (given)

Therefore.

C.P. of 25 balls = Rs. 725

C.P. of 1 ball = \(\frac{725}{25}\) = Rs.29
