Answer 2

Answer:

4 sets.

Explanation:

For a single set of shoes & socks, amount of money required would be -

Money required = 212.70 + 18.65

Money required = 231.35

For two sets of shoes & socks

Money required = 2 x 231.35

Money required = ₹ 462.7

For three sets of shoes & socks -

Money required = 3 x 231.35

Money required = 694.05

For four sets of shoes & socks

Money required = 4 x 231.35

Money required = 925.4

For five sets of shoes & socks -

Money required = 5 x 231.35

Money required = 1156.75

Cost of 5 sets exceeds 1000€, thus only 4 sets can be bought in 1000 €.

From calculated data, we can say that maximum of 4 sets of shoes & socks can be bought in 1000.
