Rakesh and Rajesh together bought 10 balls and 10 rackets
Rakesh and Rajesh together bought 10 balls and 10 rackets. Rakesh spent Rs. 1300 and Rajesh spent Rs. 1500. If each racket costs three times a ball does, then what is the price of a racket?
- Rs. 70
- Rs. 90
- Rs. 210
- Rs. 240
Answer
Let cost of racket be Rs. r and cost of ball be Rs. b.
Each racket costs three times a ball does. So,
r = 3b
Total amount spent = Rs. 1300 + Rs. 1500 = Rs. 2800
10r + 10b = 2800
r + b = 280
3b + b = 280
4b = 280
b = 70
r = 3b = 210
The correct option is C.
