Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost price of table and chair be x and x rupees..

according to the question

x + ( x + x × 25/100 ) = 567

x + ( x + x / 4 ) = 567

x + 4x / 4 = 567

taking L.C.M

5x + 4x = 567 × 4

9x = 567 × 4

x = 63 × 4

x = 252

so cost of table is 252

cost of chair = 567 - 252 =315
