The ratio of the prices of A and B is 5 : 9, and prices of C and D is 24 : 13. The price of C is Rs.1500 more than the price of B, and the price of D is Rs. 1,300. Find the price of A.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
A : B C : D
5 : 9 24 : 13
Let the ratio in first be x and second be y
Then, 24y - 9x = 1500 -----(i)
13y = 1300 -----(ii)
Solving, y = 100 and x = 100
Price of A = 5x = Rs. 500
