Step-by-step explanation:
let the cost of 1 kg tea be x and the cost of 1 kg coffee be y
so, according to question
5x+ 2y = 88-----------(1)
2x + 4y = 54 ------------(2)
now, multiply eq. (1) with 2 and subtracting eq.(2) from (1) ,we get
10x + 4y = 176
-2x - 4y = 54
--------------------
8x = 176- 54
8x= 122
x= 122/8
x= 15.25
now , putting the value of x= 15.25 in eq.(1) ,we get
y= 21.75
hence,the cost of 1 kg tea = ₹ 15.25
and the cost of 1 kg coffee= 21.75
