Detailed Solution

Let cost of each bat = Rs x
Cost of each ball = Rs. y
According to the question
Price of 7 bat and 6 balls = Rs. 3800
7x+6y=3800
6y = 3800 – 7x
Divide by 6, we get
y= (3800 – 7x)/6………………… (1)
Price of 3 bat and 5 balls =Rs 1750
3x+5y=1750
Put the value of y from equation (1),
3x + ((3800- 7x)/6) = 1750
Multiply by 6 we get,
18x+19000-35x = 10500
-17x=-8500
= -8500-17 = 500
Put the value in equation (1)
y= (3800 – 7×500)/6
y= 300/6
y= 50
Thus, the cost of each bag = Rs 500 and cost of each balls = Rs. 50
Correct option is 4.
