B Correct answer
Explanation

Given the ratio 7:5, let bag price = 7x and shoe price = 5x. The bag is Rs. 200 more than the shoe, so 7x - 5x = 200, which gives 2x = 200, so x = 100. Therefore, shoe price = 5x = 5 × 100 = Rs. 500. Option A incorrectly gives the bag price (7x), C is incorrect calculation, and D is the price difference not the shoe price.
