    Question

    If the cost of 8 apples and 9 mangoes is same as the cost of 10 apples and 6 mangoes, then what is the ratio of the price of a mango and the price of an apple?

    A.

    2:3

    B.

    3:2

    C.

    1:2

    D.

    2:5

    Correct option is A

    Solution:
    Let the price of an apple be Rs. x and the price of a mango be Rs. y.
    According to the problem,
    8x +9y = 10x + 6y
    9y - 6y = 10x - 8x
    3y = 2x
    yx=23\frac{y}{x} = \frac{2}{3}​​
    Thus, the ratio of the price of a mango to the price of an apple is 2 : 3.
