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
