  1. On selling 17 balls at $ 720, there is a loss equal to the cost price of 5 balls. The cost price of a ball is :
    1. $ 45
    2. $ 50
    3. $ 60
    4. $ 55
Correct Option: C

Let the CP of each ball = y.
Then, clearly the cost price of (17 – 5) balls = $ 720
i.e., 12y = 720

⇒ y =
720
= $ 60
12

Hence , the CP of each ball is $ 60 .
