Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
prize of notebook = x
and, prize of pencil = y
so,the price of 2 note books and 5 pencils is 30 rupees
- 2x + 5y = 30. eqn(i)
and, the price of 4 notebooks and 5 pencils is 50 rupees.
therefore,
4x+5y = 50. eqn(ii)
by elimination in eqn (i)&(ii)
4x+5y = 50
2x+5y = 30
(-). (-). (-)
__________
2x. =. 20
x = 10
put x = 10 in eqn (ii)
4(10) + 5y = 50
5y = 50 - 40
5y = 10
y = 2
thefore,
cost of one nootbook = 10
and,
cost of one pencil = 2
