- You have a bat and a ball with a price ratio of 9:5.

- This means if the ball costs 'x' rupees, the bat costs '9/5 * x' rupees.

- According to the problem, the bat costs Rs. 380 more than the ball.

- Form the equation: \((9/5)x = x + 380\).

- Solve it: \(9x = 5x + 1900\).

- Simplification gives: \(4x = 1900\).

- Solve for x: \(x = 475\).

- Option 3: Rs. 475 is the correct price of the ball.
