Answer 2

$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{The cost of one belt is Rs. 20.}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let the cost of one belt be Rs x.

Then, the cost of one shirt will be Rs. (x+12).

Also, the total cost of 2 shirts and 5 belts is ₹164. So, we get

$2\times (x+12)+5\times x=164\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+24+5x=164\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=140\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{140}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow x=20.$

Thus, the cost of one belt is Rs. 20.
