Two chair and three table cost Rs.1025 and three chairs and two tables cost Rs. 1100. What is the difference between the cost of one table and that of one chair?

Correct Answer: Rs. 75

Explanation:

Let the cost of each table and chair be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively
∵ 2y + 3x = 1025
and 3y + 2x = 1100
Solving the above two equations, we get
x = Rs. 175 and y = Rs. 250
∴ Difference between the cost of one table and one chair = Rs. (250 - 175) = Rs. 75
