Download Solution PDFGiven:
The price of a television set and a washing machine are in the ratio of 8:7.
The cost of the television set is ₹4,800 more than the cost of the washing machine.
Formula used:
Let the price of the washing machine be ₹7x.
Then, the price of the television set is ₹8x.
Given, 8x - 7x = ₹4,800
Calculation:
8x - 7x = 4800
⇒ x = 4800
⇒ Price of washing machine = 7x = 7×4800
⇒ Price of washing machine = ₹33,600
∴ The correct answer is option 3.
