Question

Five tables and eight chairs cost Rs. $7350$; three tables and five chairs cost Rs. $4475$. The price of a table is

• A. Rs. $950$
• B. Rs. $325$
• C. Rs. $925$
• D. Rs. $350$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Rs. $950$

Let the cost of table be $x,$ cost of chair be $y$.

Given $5x+8y=7350--------\left(1\right)$

$3x+5y=4475-----------\left(2\right)$

Multiplying (1) with $3$ $15x+24y=22050$

Multiplying (2) with $5$ $15x+25y=22375$

$y=325$

$x=950$
