  • Question
  • The cost of 2 tables is equal to the cost of 5 chairs. If the difference of the cost of one table and one chair is Rs. 1200, then the cost of one chair is?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 500
  • B. Rs. 400
  • C. Rs. 800
  • D. Rs. 600

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 800 

    Explanation

    Let the cost of the table be Rs. x and the cost of the chair = Rs. y

    From 1st condition,
    2x = 5y
    ? x= 5y/2

    From 2nd condition
    x - y = 1200
    ? (5y / 2) - y = 1200
    3y / 2 = 1200
    y = Rs. 800
