HOPE IT HELPS YOU !!
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
Cost of 2 pencils and 3 erasers = ₹18
Cost of 1 pencil and 2 erasers = ₹11
To find:-
Cost of each pencil.
Solution:-
Let the cost of one pencil be x and the cost of eraser be y.
Equating the given conditions,
we get,
2x + 3y = ₹18 (Equation 1)
x + 2y = ₹11 (Equation 2)
Multiplying equation 2 by 2,
we get,
2×(x + 2y) = 2 × ₹11
2x + 4y = ₹22 (Equation 3)
Subtracting equation 1 from equation 3, we get,
2x + 4y - (2x + 3y) = ₹22 - ₹18
2x + 4y - 2x - 3y = ₹4
y = ₹4
Thus, the cost of one eraser is ₹4.
Now, substituting the value of y in equation 2,
x + 2y = ₹11
x + 2×₹4 = ₹11
x + ₹8 = ₹11
x = ₹3
Thus, the cost of one pencil is ₹3.Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
Father's age is six times the son's age.
Mother's age is five times the son's age.
Sum of father's and mother's age is 77.
To find :-
Age of father
Solution :-
Let the son's age be x.
Then,
father's age = 6x
mother's age = 5x
It is given that,
6x + 5x = 77
There is no more condition.
So, it not possible to get the answer by a proper method.
Therefore, we start guessing.
If son's age was 6 years,
father's age = 6x = 36 years
mother's age = 5x = 30 years
Sum of father's and mother's age = 36 + 30 = 66
But, 66 ≠ 77
Therefore, son's age cannot be 6 years.
2. If son's age was 7 years,
father's age = 6x = 42 years
mother's age = 5x = 35 years
Sum of father's and mother's age = 42 + 35 = 77
This time, 77 = 77
Therefore, son's age = 7 years
Father's age = 6x = 42 years
