Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of apples per kg be Rs x
Let cost of grapes per kg be Rs y
Given that .....
2kg apples and 1 kg grapes cost rupees 160
2× cost per kg of Apple + 1 × cost per kg of grapes= 160
2x + y = 160....{1}
Also ,
4 kg apples and 2 kg grapes cost Rs 300
4× cost per kg of apples + 2 × cost per kg of grapes= 300
4x + 2y = 300
2( 2x + y ) = 2 × 150
2x + y = 150 ....{2}
Now , plotting equation
2x + y = 160 .... ( 1 )
2x + y = 150 .... ( 2 )
For equation ( 1 )
2x + y = 150
Let x = 50
2 ( 50 ) + y = 150
100 + y = 150
y = 150 - 100
y = 50
Let y = 60
2 ( 60 ) + y = 150
120 + y = 150
y = 150 - 120
y = 30
For equation ( 2 )
Let x = 50
2 ( 50 ) + y = 160
100 + y = 160
y = 160 - 100
y =60
so, x = 50 , y = 60 is a solution
Let x = 60
2 ( 60 ) + y = 160
120 + y = 160
y = 160 - 120
y = 40
So , x = 60 , y = 40 is a solution
Hope it helps you
Let the cost of 1 kg of apples be x and that of 1 kg be y.
The situation can be represented graphically by plotting these two equations.
y=150−2x 20 40 60 80
We can see that the lines do not intersect anywhere, i.e. they are parallel.
- Hence we can not arrive at a solution.
