Answers
Answer:
Let the number of bats be x and number of balls be y
Case 1:
ATQ, 7x+6y=13200........1
Case 2:
ATQ,3x+5y=5900..........2
Multiply equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 6
5(7x+6y=13200)
35x+30y=66000..........3
6(3x+5y=5900)
18x+30y=35400...........4
Solving equation 3 and equation 4
35x+30y=66000
18x+30y=35400
- - -
17x=30600
x=30600/17
x=1800
Substitute x=1800 in equation 2
3x1800+5y=5900
5400+5y=5900
5y=5900-5400
5y=500
y=100
Therefore, the cost of 1 bat is 1800 Rs and the cost of 1 ball is 100Rs

Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of 7 bats and 6 balls is Rs 13200.
Cost of 3 bats and 5 balls is Rs 5900.
To Find:
What is the cost of each bat and ball ?
Solution: Let the cost of each bat and ball be Rs x and y respectively.
➙ Cost of 7 bats = Rs 7x
➙ Cost of 6 balls = Rs 6y
➙ Cost of 3 bats = Rs 3x
➙ Cost of 5 balls = Rs 5y
[ Multiplying 5 in equation 1 and 6 in equation 2 ]
➯ (7x + 6y) 5 = 13200 × 5
35x + 30y = 66000ㅤㅤㅤeqⁿ i
➯ (3x + 5y) 6 = 5900 × 6
18x + 30y = 35400ㅤㅤeqⁿ ii
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ35x + 30y = 66000
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ18x + 30y = 35400
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ–ㅤㅤ–ㅤㅤ–
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ17x = 30600
∴ x = 30600/17 = 1800
Now putting the value of x in equation 1.
Hence, the cost of each bat and ball is Rs 1800 & Rs 100 respectively.
