Question

Two tables and three chairs cost 2000 where as three tables and two chairs toget cost is 2500 find the cost of one table and five chairs

Answer 1

Answer: ₹1700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 table be ₹x

Let the cost of 1 chair be ₹y

According to the question,

3x + 2y = 2500

2x + 3y = 2000

Adding both equations, we get,

5(x+y) = 4500

=> x+y = 900

Subtracting both equations, we get,

x-y = 500

Let us now add the two equations which we derived from the given se of equations

=> 2x =1400

=> x = 700

=> y= 200

Therefore cost of 1 table = ₹700

Cost of 1 chair = ₹200

Cost of 1 table + 5 chairs = 700 + 5*200 = 700 + 1000 = ₹1700
