Question and options
Geeta bought 15 chairs and 10 tables for Rs. 200. Shyam bought 20 chairs and 5 tables for Rs. 225 from the same shop at the same price. Now if Sita wants to buy 1 chair and 1 table, how much money is needed?
- Rs. 10
- Rs. 15
- Rs. 20
- Rs. 25
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Rs. 15
15c + 10t = 200 and 20c + 5t = 225. Doubling the second: 40c + 10t = 450; subtracting gives 25c = 250, so c = 10 and t = 5. One chair + one table = Rs 15.
