    Question

    ​The prices of a cream and a shampoo are in the ratio 19 : 11. The price of the cream is ₹160 more than the price of the shampoo. What is the price of a cream?

    A.

    ₹340

    B.

    ₹360

    C.

    ₹400

    D.

    ₹380

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Ratio of prices of cream to shampoo = 19 : 11

    Difference in prices = ₹160

    Solution:

    Let common multiplier be x:

    Cream = 19x, Shampoo = 11x

    Given: 19x - 11x = 160

    =>\Rightarrow​ 8x = 160

    =>\Rightarrow​ x = 20

    So,

    Price of cream = 19x = 19×20 19 \times 20 ​= ₹380

    Thus, the correct option is (d) ₹380

    Alternate Method:

    Then, 

    8 units → 160

    19 units = 1608×19\frac{160}{8} \times 19 = 380 Rs.
