Statement III: If the number of tickets is decreased by 30 (keeping the cost per ticket constant), the amount collected will be Rs. 7500 less. Correct Answer Any of the statements alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Suppose the price of a ticket is Rs. x;

⇒ Number of tickets = 37500/x

Statement I: 

(x + 30) × 37500/x = 37500 + 4500

⇒ x = 250

⇒ Price of a ticket = Rs. 250

Statement II:

Ratio of number of tickets and the cost of a ticket is 3 : 5.

Suppose the number of tickets and the cost of a ticket is 3a and 5a respectively;

⇒ 15a2 = 37500

⇒ a2 = 2500

⇒ a = 50

∴ Price of a ticket = Rs. 250

Statement III: 

⇒ x × = 37500 - 7500

⇒ x = 250

∴ Price of a ticket = Rs. 250

∴ Any of the statements alone is sufficient to answer the question.
