Given : Raghav said,  Seven pens and five erasers cost the same as six pencils.

Chandni said, "Four pens and nine pencils cost the same as five erasers.

Sohum said, " cost of six pencils and three erasers is same as four pens

one of them has made wrong statement

To Find : Who committed error in calculations

Solution:

Pen cost = x

Pencil cost = y

eraser cost = z

Raghav said,  Seven pens and five erasers cost the same as six pencils.

=> 7x + 5z  = 6y

Chandni said, "Four pens and nine pencils cost the same as five erasers.

=> 4x + 9y = 5z

Sohum said, " cost of six pencils and three erasers is same as four pens

=> 6y + 3z  = 4x

Case 1 :  Assume Raghav did not make error

Raghav

7x + 5z  = 6y => 5z = 6y - 7x    

Chandni

4x + 9y = 5z

Substituting  5z  from raghav

=> 4x + 9y = 6y - 7x

=> 11x + 3y = 0    which is not possible

Hence Chandni  made error

Sohum  

6y + 3z  = 4x

Substituting   6y  from raghav

7x + 5z +  3z  = 4x

=> 8z + 3x = 0  which is not possible

Hence Sohum   also made error

so This case is not possible as 2 person made error.

so Raghav must have made error

Still lets check all possible cases to verify

Case 2 :  Assume Chandni  did not make error

Chandni  

4x + 9y = 5z      => 4x = 5z - 9y

Raghav

7x + 5z  = 6y

substitute 5z from Chandni

7x + 4x + 9y = 6y

=> 11x + 3y = 0   which is not possible

Hence Raghav  made error

Sohum  

6y + 3z  = 4x

Substituting   4x  from  Chandni

6y +  3z  = 5z - 9y

=> 15y = 2z    which is  possible

Hence only Raghav  made error

So this is possible that Raghav made an error

Case 3 :

Sohum did not make error

6y + 3z  = 4x    => 6y = 4x - 3z

Raghav :

7x + 5z  = 6y

substitute 6y from  Sohum

=>  7x + 5z = 4x - 3z

=> 3x + 8z = 0  which is not possible

Hence Raghav  made error

Chandni

4x + 9y = 5z

substitute 4x from  Sohum

6y + 3z + 9y = 5z

=> 15y = 2z  which is  possible

Hence Raghav has made error

Raghav Committed error in calculations
