C Correct answer
Explanation

Let table = 7x, chair = 5x. 7x - 5x = 480, so 2x = 480, x = 240. Chair price = 5 * 240 = 1200.

AI explanation

The difference in price between the table and the chair corresponds to a difference of 2 ratio units (7 minus 5). Since this difference is given as Rs. 480, one ratio unit is equal to Rs. 240. The price of the chair represents 5 units, so multiplying 5 by 240 gives the price of the chair as Rs. 1200.
