$\sf{\bold{\green{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let the cost of chair be x and the cost of table be y

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Cost of 3 tables and 2 chairs = Rs. 1850

⠀⠀⠀⠀

3y + 2x = 1850 ----- ( i )

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Cost of table is 75 more than chair

⠀⠀

x + 75 = y ----- ( ii )

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Putting value of y from eq ( ii ) in eq ( i )

⠀⠀⠀⠀

3 ( x + 75 ) + 2x = 1850

⠀⠀

3x + 225 + 2x = 1850

⠀⠀⠀⠀

5x + 225 = 1850

⠀⠀⠀⠀

5x = 1850 - 225

⠀⠀

5x = 1625

⠀⠀⠀⠀

x = 1625 / 5

⠀⠀⠀⠀

x = 325

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• putting value of x in eq ( ii )

⠀⠀⠀⠀

x + 75 = y

⠀⠀

325 + 75 = y

⠀⠀⠀⠀

y = 400
