Answer»

Given:

  • The price of a chair and a table together is Rs. 5000
  • The price of a table is Rs. 2000 more than that of a chair

To find:

  • the price of a chair
  • the price of a table

Solution:

Let the price of a chair be X and that of a table be y.

By the given CONDITIONS,

  • x + y = 5000 ... ...(1)
  • y = x + 2000 ... ...(2)

Substituting y = x + 2000 in (1), we get

  • x + x + 2000 = 5000
  • or, 2x = 3000
  • or, x = 1500

Putting x = 1500 in (2), we get

  • y = 1500 + 2000
  • or, y = 3500

Answer:

  • a) price of a chair is Rs. 1500
  • b) price of a table is Rs. 3500
