Answer» LET us take sugar as x and rice as y. so, 5k of sugar = 5x and 7kg of rice = 7y given, 5KG of sugar and 7kg of rice as 153 rs. so,5x+7y= = 153 -----(1) also, 7kg of sugar and 5 kg of rice is 147 rs. so, 7x+5y=153----(2) SOLVING the above two eqns. multiply (1) by 7 and (2) by 5 35x+49y = 1071 35x+25y = 735 ____________ 24y= 336 ___________ y = 14 substituting the value of y in (1) we get 5x+7*14= 153 5x+68 = 153 5x=153-68 5x=85 x= 17 so, the cost of 6kg of sugar = 6*17 = 102 rs and the cost of 10kg rice = 10*14 = 140 rs. |
