Let's assume the cost price of a single ball is "x" rupees.

According to the given information, when 17 balls are sold at Rs 720, there is a loss equal to the cost price of 5 balls.

To calculate the cost price of a single ball, we can set up the following equation:

17x - 720 = 5x

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of "x" (the cost price of a single ball):

17x - 5x = 720
12x = 720
x = 720 / 12
x = 60

Therefore, the cost price of a single ball is Rs 60.
