Question

The ratio between the prices of a scooter and a refrigerator is 4 : 1. If the scooter costs ₹ 45,000 more than the refrigerator, find the price of the refrigerator.

Answer 1

Ratio between the prices of scooter and a refrigerator = 4:1

Cost price of scooter = ₹45,000

Let the cost of scooter = 4x

Cost of refrigerator = 1x

According to condition,

Cost of scooter > Cost of refrigerator

⇒ 4x- 1x = 45000

⇒ 3x = 45000

x = `45000/3`

⇒ x = 15000

∴ Price of refrigerator = ₹15000
