The prices of two woolen jackets A and B are in the ratio 7:9. If jacket A cost ₹380 less than jacket B, then find the price of jacket B.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹1710.
The prices of two woolen jackets A and B are in the ratio 7 : 9.
Difference between the price of jacket B and jacket A = Rs. 380
Let the price of the two jackets be 7x and 9x.
According to the question -
9x - 7x = 380
2x = 380
x = 380/2
x = 190
So, price of the jacket B = 190 × 9 = Rs. 1710
