Answer» Answer: Cost of one table is RS. 1000 and cost of one chair is Rs. 500 Step-by-step explanation: Let cost of one table be X and cost of one chair be y For Thomas Cost of 2 tables + Cost of 8 Chairs = 6000 2x + 8Y = 6000 ---(i) For Mohan Cost of 3 tables + Cost of 10 Chairs = 8000 3x + 10y = 8000 ---- (ii) Multiplying (i) with 3 and (ii) with 2 we get 6x + 24y = 18000 ---(iii) 6x + 20y = 16000 --- (iv) Subtracting (iv) from (iii) (6x + 24y) - (6x + 20y) = 18000 - 16000 6x + 24y - 6x - 20y = 2000 4y = 2000 y = 500 Putting value of y in (i) 2x + 8(500) = 6000 2x + 4000 = 6000 2x = 6000 - 4000 2x = 2000 x = 1000 Hence, the cost of one table is Rs. 1000 and the cost of one chair is Rs. 500. |
