It is given that five pens and 7 pens cost 79 rupees.
So, let the number of books be x and the number of pens be y.
According to the question,
5x+7y=79------(1)
Similarly,
7x+5y=77-------(2)
multiplying (2) by 5, and (1) by 7,
35x+49=553------(3)
35x+25y=385-----(4)
Subtracting (4) from (3),
24y=168
y=7
Substituting this value in (1),
5x+49=79
5x=30
x=6
Hence, the cost of one book= 6 rupees
Two pens=2×7=14 rupees
