Question:

On selling 26 balls for Rs. 2700, there is a loss equal to that cost price of 8 balls. CP of 1 ball is?

Options:

150

175

200

Correct Answer:

150

Explanation:

SP of 1 ball = $\frac{2700}{26}$ = 103.846

Loss = CP - SP ⇒ 26 CP - 26 SP = 8CP

18 CP = 26 SP

CP : SP

13 : 9

9 → 103.846

1 → $\frac{103.846}{9}$

13 → $\frac{103.846}{9}$ × 13 = 150
