Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 8910

GIVEN :

The loss occurred is Rs. 3080

The ratio between the weights of two pieces is 2 : 7

CONCEPT :

The cost of a piece of gem stone varies with the square of its weight.

⇒ Price = k × weight2......(k is any constant)       

ASSUMPTION :

Let the weight of a piece of gem stone be (2a + 7a = 9a)

CALCULATION :

The initial value of diamond = 81ka2

Let the original price of a diamond be Ra.M.

⇒ 81ka2 = M

Then,

The new value of diamond becomes = k (4a2 + 49a2) = 53ka2

New value of diamond = (53 × M)/81

Then,

⇒ M - 53M/81 = 3080

⇒ M = Rs. 8910

∴ The original price of gem stone is Rs.8910.
