Let the cost of $1$ bat be $\text{Rs}x$ and the cost of $1$ ball be $\text{Rs}y$
A.T.Q.
$10x + 5y = 32500$ or $2x + y = 6500$ -------(i) [1 mark]
$2x + 8y = 10000$ or $2x + 8y = 10000$ ----(ii) [1 mark]
Solving (i) and (ii) to get $x = 3000$ and $y = 500$ [1/2 + 1/2 mark]
Cost of $1$ bat = ₹3,000
Cost of $1$ ball = ₹500
