Answer 1

Answer: A=Rs 600.00           B=Rs 800.00

Step-by-step explanation:        

a+1/2y=1000..........(1)

b+1/3x=1000..........(2)

to eliminate a                                                    substitute b into (1)

(1)*1 -(2)*3                                                           a+1/2(800)=1000

a+0.5b=1000                                                      a+400=1000

-a+3b=3000                                                        a=1000-400

   -2.5b=-2000                                                 a=Rs 600.00    

    -2.5     -2.5

        b=Rs 800.00
