  • Question
  • The price of 2 sarees and 4 shirts is Rs. 1600. With the same money one can buy 1 saree and 6 shirts. If one wants to buy 12 shirts, how much shall he have to pay?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 1200
  • B. Rs. 2400
  • C. Rs. 4800
  • D. Cannot be determined
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 2400 

    Explanation
    Let the price of a saree and a shirt be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.

    Then, 2x + 4y = 1600 .... (i)

        and x + 6y = 1600 .... (ii)

    Divide equation (i) by 2, we get the below equation. 
    
    => x +  2y =  800. --- (iii)
    
    Now subtract (iii) from (ii)
    
     x +  6y = 1600  (-)
     x +  2y =  800  
    ----------------
          4y =  800
    ----------------
    
    Therefore, y = 200.
    
    Now apply value of y in (iii)
    
    =>  x + 2 x 200 = 800
    
    =>  x + 400 = 800
    
    Therefore x = 400
    
    

    Solving (i) and (ii) we get x = 400, y = 200.

    ∴ Cost of 12 shirts = Rs. (12 x 200) = Rs. 2400.
